🔥 Case Study: Broiler Failure – Fast Food Chain, Birmingham
Client: National Burger Chain
Location: Birmingham City Centre
Issue: Broiler not heating consistently
Response Time: 4 hours
Resolution: Faulty igniter and thermocouple replaced, tested, and fully restored same day

When a high-volume fast food restaurant in Birmingham experienced a broiler failure mid-shift, it threatened to bring burger production to a halt.

With customers waiting and staff under pressure, the restaurant called GastroFix for urgent support.

We dispatched a qualified catering engineer who was on-site within 4 hours. After inspection, the issue was diagnosed as a worn igniter and faulty thermocouple, causing intermittent heating and safety cut-offs.

Both parts were replaced from van stock, and the system was re-tested under load to ensure consistent performance. The broiler was fully operational before the evening rush.

Result:
✔️ Critical equipment restored same day
✔️ No disruption to service
✔️ Site manager impressed with response time
