Equipment Guardian
The uptime passport for commercial kitchens
A commercial kitchen runs for years on equipment nobody has a complete record of. The model number is behind the unit, the warranty paperwork left with a former manager, and the last three service calls live in three different inboxes. Equipment Guardian is the uptime passport for that equipment: one durable record per asset that travels with the machine, not with whoever happened to be on shift.
Equipment Guardian's long-term customer-facing home will be equipmentguardian.app. It is not open to the public yet.
Who it's for
Restaurant and foodservice operators, service agencies, and multi-site facilities teams
Lifecycle stage
Operate & maintain
What it's for
- Model and serial numbers that have to be re-found every time something breaks
- Warranty coverage discovered after the invoice, not before the call
- Service history scattered across email, texts, and paper tickets from multiple providers
- Preventive maintenance that quietly stops happening when staff turns over
- Operators and service agencies working from different, incomplete pictures of the same asset
What it does today
A per-asset record for equipment details, documents, service history, and maintenance information
Model, serial, install date, warranty window, and documentation kept in one place
Service and maintenance history logged against the asset, not scattered across inboxes
Maintenance-manual analysis can turn source material into a private maintenance calendar
QR passport pages provide a read-only equipment reference
The workflow, step by step
Register the asset
Each piece of equipment gets a record: make, model, serial, location, install date, and the documentation that came with it.
Attach the install context
Utilities, placement, and install details stay with the asset, so the next technician is not guessing at the setup.
Log service against the asset
Every visit, repair, and part replacement is recorded on the equipment record rather than in a thread nobody can find later.
Make maintenance visible
Maintenance expectations are surfaced where the team working the line can actually see them.
Share the history
Operators and their service agencies can look at the same asset history when deciding whether to repair or replace.
Where it stands — Private pilot
- Equipment Guardian is in a private pilot. Access is by conversation only right now — there is no public sign-up.
- "Uptime passport" is how we describe what Equipment Guardian is, not a separate product. There is one product here.
- It is a standalone application and does not share a database with KitchenReady or our other products.
- We are not publishing downtime-reduction numbers. Pilot sites are still establishing what a baseline even looks like.

Tell us how many sites you run, how you track equipment today, and who handles your service. Pilot slots are limited and we would rather place them well than fill them fast.
