Facilities Management (FM): Keeping Operations on Track
Restaurant brands are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, automation, and energy-efficient equipment to stay competitive. DAVACO's facilities management services help manage your operations with both reactive and preventative maintenance solutions, ensuring minimal downtime and optimized performance.
Preventative Maintenance with Automation
Our automated preventative maintenance programs are designed to keep your critical systems—such as HVAC, refrigeration, and kitchen equipment—running smoothly. By proactively servicing these systems, we extend their lifespan and reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns, ultimately supporting brands' sustainability goals through optimized energy use and waste reduction.
For restaurant brands investing in energy-efficient equipment, our automated scheduling ensures regular upkeep, so your eco-friendly initiatives remain on track without disruption.
Reactive Maintenance with 24/7 Support
When things go wrong, time is of the essence. Our 24/7 maintenance hotline ensures you can address issues in real-time. Whether it's an equipment failure or structural emergency, our skilled technicians across the country respond quickly to get your operations back on track. Using data analytics and AI, we monitor equipment performance in real-time, addressing potential problems before they impact operations, making us the perfect partner for brands relying on continuous service.
Exterior Maintenance for a Modern Customer Experience
With the rise of contactless services and curbside pickup, the exterior of your restaurant has never been more important. At DAVACO, we ensure that your outdoor spaces are clean, functional, and optimized for curbside, drive-thru, and other customer touchpoints. From landscaping and parking lot management to exterior signage, we maintain a seamless customer experience that aligns with your brand standards.
Project Management: Seamlessly Executing Brand Transformations
At DAVACO, our project management services help restaurant brands transform their physical spaces and implement new technologies across multisite locations. Whether it's updating interiors, rolling out new equipment, or integrating advanced technology platforms, we ensure that every project aligns with your brand's identity and customer experience goals.
Refreshes: Modernizing Retail Interiors
As trends evolve, restaurant interiors need to be refreshed to keep up. DAVACO specializes in updating retail environments, from updating fixtures and graphics to renovating floors, walls, and seating areas. We help brands maintain a modern, inviting atmosphere while supporting sustainability efforts through eco-friendly designs and materials. Our team ensures that every refresh project reflects your brand’s identity while delivering an elevated customer experience.
Rollouts: Scaling Technology and Equipment Across Multisites
Rolling out new technologies such as self-service kiosks, digital menu boards, and energy-efficient equipment across multiple locations is no small task. DAVACO’s experience in multisite rollouts ensures that these projects are executed with precision and consistency. We manage the installation of technology across diverse locations, ensuring seamless integration and adherence to your brand standards.
For example, brands like Taco Bell rely on DAVACO for the deployment of self-order kiosks.
Special Projects: Implementing Mobile Apps and Online Ordering Platforms
As restaurant brands embrace digital transformation, DAVACO provides the end-to-end management for implementing mobile apps and online ordering systems. These platforms meet the growing demand for convenience and allow brands to offer personalized, efficient customer experiences. Our team ensures that these technologies are integrated seamlessly with existing systems, from design to deployment.
Chipotle utilized our expertise for renovations to include a new mobile order pick-up window and drive-thru lane, as well as secondary food make line to support mobile ordering.
