Maintenance & Support for Restaurants.

Senior engineers on retainer, not on a ticket queue. Designed and shipped for restaurants, not generic templates with restaurants swapped in.

Why this matters

Why restaurants need Maintenance built around their unit economics.

Most restaurants are operating on sites or software stacks built three to five years ago for a different version of the buyer. Third-party ordering apps take 18-30% per order and own the customer data, so there's no direct channel to fall back on. The infrastructure decisions that compound are the ones made with the operator in the room, not the ones made in a vacuum.

Inparlor's Maintenance & Support engagement for restaurants reflects that. Software rots if no one tends it: dependencies drift, security advisories pile up, and the small feature you needed last month is still in someone's inbox. The deliverables below are scoped against the unit economics, per-order fee on third-party apps of 18-30%.

Where most agencies treat restaurants as another vertical to learn on, we treat the vertical as the starting point. Loyalty and reorder are locked inside a platform the operator can't customize or export from. We will tell you on the first call which of those constraints is binding and which is solvable inside the engagement.

Our Restaurants-specific approach

How Maintenance runs in restaurants, operationally.

  • SLA-backed intake

    Issues come in through one tracked channel with response and resolution times you can hold us to. No more requests lost in a DM, every ticket has an owner, a priority, and a clock.

  • Monitoring and alerting on by default

    Uptime, errors, and performance are watched continuously, so we catch the outage before your customers do. We hear about the problem from a monitor, not from your support inbox.

  • Dependency hygiene kept current

    Frameworks, libraries, and security patches stay up to date on a regular cadence, so the stack does not rot into a risky, expensive upgrade two years from now. Small steady updates beat one painful rewrite.

  • Quarterly roadmap reviews

    Every quarter we step back, review what broke, what is aging, and what the business needs next, and plan the work. Maintenance is not just keeping the lights on, it is steering what gets built next.
