Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the display refrigerator under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so evaporator coil frozen is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your display refrigerator to catch wear before it becomes evaporator coil frozen.
