SendaGuy Now, a Manhattan-based startup seeking to revolutionize how independently owned restaurants in New York City request and receive repair and maintenance services, has announced that it has expanded its service offering to include preventive maintenance services.

“Establishing a preventive maintenance schedule specific to the needs of a restaurant’s equipment and sticking to it will extend the service life of the equipment, eliminating costly repairs,” said Eric Schechter, Certified Restaurant Facilities Professional and Chief Business Guy at SendaGuy Now. “SendaGuy Now helps restaurants locate quality contractors who can provide these important services when required without a service contract.”

SendaGuy Now’s platform matches the details of a restaurant’s repair or preventive maintenance request with the skill set of a qualified service technician working nearby, who can come when needed, usually same day.

Similar to Uber, SendaGuy Now identifies service technicians working in dense urban areas who have idle capacity and pairs them with restaurants nearby that need their specific services. The company says it’s a win-win for all.

“SendaGuy Now has been a huge help in getting our repair and maintenance needs organized and under control so I can focus on all the other needs of the two restaurants I manage," said Kristina Scher, GM of Corkbuzz.

SendaGuy Now currently has over 450 restaurants registered with the app. Customers include independently owned full & quick service restaurants, hospitality groups, and franchisees. On-demand preventive maintenance services include:

  • Cleaning of grease traps and exhaust systems
  • Checking of:
    • Air conditioning systems
    • Fire suppression systems
    • Fire extinguishers
    • Refrigeration
    • Ice machines
    • Commercial kitchen equipment
    • Backflow preventers
