Help me set up equipment maintenance for my kitchen. Equipment list with age and make where known: [EQUIPMENT_LIST]. Past breakdowns and what they cost: [PAST_BREAKDOWNS]. Who does cleaning and basic checks: [MAINTENANCE_OWNER]. Contractors and warranties: [CONTRACTORS_AND_WARRANTIES]. Menu items that depend on each piece of equipment: [MENU_DEPENDENCIES]. Produce: a maintenance schedule table with the columns Equipment, Daily check, Weekly task, Monthly task, Annual service, Owner, Done. Base tasks on general good practice and tell me to follow the manufacturer's manual and any legal inspection requirements for gas, electrical and refrigeration, which I must confirm [VERIFY]. Add a risk ranking from 1 to 5 for each item, multiplying impact on service by likelihood of failure, with the arithmetic. Add a breakdown response plan for the top three items with an immediate step, a workaround menu, a call list and a customer message, and a log template with the columns Date, Equipment, Fault, Action, Cost, Downtime hours. Include a calculation of the annual cost of reactive repairs versus planned maintenance using my numbers, as an estimate with stated assumptions. Add a short rule: if an appliance smells of gas, sparks or leaks, stop using it and follow the emergency procedure. Do not invent manufacturer instructions, service intervals or legal duties. Do not suggest staff repair gas or electrical equipment. Add a worked example with invented figures: a walk-in fridge failing twice a year at 600 per call-out plus 400 stock loss, against a 250 annual service.
