Who you are · Service managers · Refrigeration
The service manager’s job at a refrigeration shop is quality at speed: which techs are drowning, which jobs went sideways, which callbacks were preventable. That is a reading problem, and the record was built to be read.

The chair’s real problems
Callbacks arrive as mysteries
Without photos, notes, and the timeline, every callback becomes a he-said dispute instead of a fixable pattern.
Coaching runs on vibes
Who quotes well, who closes, who leaves money on the truck, guessed from memory instead of read from work.
The best tech’s knowledge is trapped
The veteran’s habits (the photos they take, the notes they leave) should become the crew’s floor, not their secret.
The work
01
The emergency
Restaurant and grocery calls dispatched by urgency and proximity, with the site’s equipment notes in the truck before it arrives: which rack, which refrigerant, what failed last time.
02
The maintenance contract
Quarterly coil cleanings and temperature checks generate their own visits, carry their checklists, and renew without a re-sell.
03
The install
Case swaps and new boxes quoted from the book, scheduled as their own days, and closed with photos of what went in.
What the record hands you
Every job tells its story
Photos, notes, times, and signatures in one place. The callback conversation starts from evidence.
The apps →The week by tech
What each tech ran, quoted, and closed: the coaching conversation with numbers in it.
The week →The book keeps quotes honest
Estimates built from one price book mean price consistency isn’t a personality trait.
Estimates →The old way
Every hour down is spoiled inventory
A restaurant losing a walk-in does not hold for a callback. The call has to become a dispatched truck in one motion.
The site’s history rides in one tech’s head
When the veteran who knows that rack retires, the knowledge should stay on the record, not leave in the truck with him.
After-hours work, daylight billing
Emergency work finished at midnight gets invoiced Thursday, disputed Friday. Collect it on site while the save is fresh.
The day, from this chair
8:00
Yesterday’s exceptions
The jobs that ran long or came back, read from the record before the trucks roll.
13:00
The ride-along, aimed
You ride with the tech whose numbers say they need it, not whoever’s turn it feels like.
17:00
The callback, closed
Photos from the original visit settle in two minutes what used to take two phone calls.
Straight answers
Does the service manager cost a seat?
No. $99 is the company, not the seat. Every chair on this page is included, from the owner to the newest tech, and a hire changes the crew rather than the software bill.
Can we bring our refrigeration records?
CSV and Excel, Documents, The API: we map the columns and read what we can, with a dry run you inspect before anything is live. What we cannot take stays a limit you can see.
