MAINTENANCE TRACKING SOFTWARE

Never get surprised by a dead walk-in again.

Sideworks maintenance tracking software keeps preventive upkeep, work orders, and vendors in one app for your restaurant, food hall, or hotel. Schedule recurring tasks like HVAC filters, hood cleaning, and fire inspections, and Sideworks auto-calculates the next due date every time one is completed. Overdue and due-soon counts keep the things that cause emergencies from slipping through the cracks.

Why it matters

The cheapest repair is the one you scheduled.

Reactive maintenance means emergency rates, lost product, and a closed kitchen. Preventive maintenance means a filter changed on time and a hood cleaned before the inspector shows up. The hard part was never knowing what to do — it's remembering to do it. That's what a schedule is for.

Part of the platform

Maintenance is part of the whole operation.

Upkeep doesn't live on its own — it's connected to the daily work your team already runs in Sideworks:

  • Inspection checklists

    Daily equipment checks that flag problems before they need a work order.

  • SOP software

    Store the maintenance procedures your schedules execute.

  • The full platform

    Checklists, scheduling, feedback, events, and maintenance in one app.

Common questions

Maintenance tracking, answered.

How does preventive maintenance scheduling work?

Create a maintenance schedule with a name, category, frequency (in days, weeks, or months), and priority, then assign it to a staff member. When the task is marked complete, Sideworks automatically calculates the next due date — so recurring upkeep like HVAC filters and hood cleaning never falls off the radar.

What maintenance categories are supported?

Schedules can be organized across HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, electrical, kitchen, cleaning, safety, and general — covering the equipment and upkeep a restaurant or hotel actually runs on.

Can staff complete maintenance without an account?

Yes. Each maintenance task has a public completion link. A technician or staff member can mark the task done from that link — no account required — and the completion is recorded.

Does it handle one-off repairs and vendors?

Yes. Work orders track one-off repair and service requests through open, in-progress, and completed states. A vendor directory keeps your service providers — contact, category, and notes — in one place, linked to the maintenance they handle.

How do I know what's overdue?

The dashboard shows overdue and due-soon counts with color-coded urgency, and a calendar view lays out upcoming tasks for the month so nothing slips.
