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