I spent over 25 years in restaurant management, both in the quick service restaurants, and full service restaurants. There is very little that I haven't seen.
One of the challenges that I was always had was who to call for basic building repairs, and how many different companies I would have to deal with.
Within a 6 month period of time I would be dealing with plumbers, carpenters, tile companies -- the list goes on and on.
Never really knowing if I was getting a fair deal or not.
Then there's the Handyman who comes out who has no idea how a restaurant operates, showing up during the lunch rush and wants to discuss the shelf on the cook's line that he came out to fix.
All of these items I would be able to do myself (But I have a restaurant to run)
So as the story goes, in July 2000 I took off the tie, and the polished shoes, and started Restaurant Services, a handyman man service that specializes in restaurants
We currently work with 40 major restaurant chains, in over 400 locations, along with retail, and residential work.
