The Maintenance Battle

Restaurants receive a high volume of daily traffic for longer periods of time than standard businesses every day. Glasses, plateware, silverware, pots and pans are used several times per day during routine business. Since AZUR is a seven day per week operation, we must constantly maintain all areas seen and unseen which sometimes seems like a never ending battle. To add a degree of difficulty, it must be done when the restaurant is not being used which is only very late at night or very early in the morning. We cannot just close the dining room in the middle of the day to replace light bulbs or repair broken equipment. Our challenge is to maintain everything without the customer noticing that anything has been effected. At AZUR, it is important that we offer the same dining experience for all guests regardless of the problems or obstacles that are placed before us on any given day.
