When Your Fryer Is Down, Your Menu Is Limited
Fryers are essential for high-volume kitchens. When the gas unit won't ignite, the electric fryer overheats oil, or the filtration system clogs, your fried items are off the menu and revenue drops.
I'm Ryan, The Oven Man. I repair commercial fryers daily: Frymaster, Vulcan, Pitco, Dean, Henny Penny, Avantco, Atosa and more. I diagnose quickly, use OEM parts whenever possible and explain exactly what failed so you're not guessing what you paid for.
