Staying on top of busy season, what are you doing to prepare?

It’s that time of year again; summer hires, warmer weather and more customers!
If you’re a school, grocery store or restaurant there’s a lot to get done before busy season is in full swing.  What are you doing to prepare?
Making those to-do lists may seem like a daunting task, but one thing to include should be your summer tune-up for your equipment.

The average service time for a piece of equipment is an hour and that’s on YOUR schedule, not your machinery.
