39 minutes

Interview Takeaways:

Starting from Pain Points – Daniel Estrada was motivated to start 86 Repairs after facing the difficulties and frustrations tied to managing repairs and maintenance in the restaurant industry. His co-founder, Joe, who had experience in the food equipment sector, observed that many of his clients struggled with handling repairs and upkeep efficiently, which sparked discussions between them about the challenges restaurant operators regularly encountered, and ultimately led to the founding of 86 Repairs.

Leveraging Data for Operational Efficiency – Daniel Estrada highlights the unique value of 86 Repairs, which lies in its ability to centralize the repair and maintenance (R&M) process for customers while collecting valuable data, then prioritizing gathering and analyzing data to benefit operators. This data helps the company offer better advice to customers, such as assessing the fairness of service quotes, recommending when equipment should be replaced, and aiding in capital planning. Additionally, the data enables operators to make strategic decisions, including forecasting costs and managing financial accruals more efficiently.

Taking Advantage of Money on the Table – While partnering with 86 Repairs is an option, Daniel Estrada encourages operators to reassess their current repair and maintenance (R&M) processes, even if they seem to be working well. Exploring these issues can help operators optimize workflows, train teams more effectively, and take a more proactive approach, potentially uncovering significant cost savings.
