Turn an equipment list into maintenance routines and risk assessments
Upload the equipment spreadsheet you already have, and Paddl builds your asset register, drafts maintenance routines per item, and generates the risk assessment for operating that equipment.
An equipment list is more than an inventory. Each fridge, fryer, and dishwasher needs maintaining and carries a risk when it is used. Paddl turns the list you already have into the maintenance routines and risk assessments that keep that equipment safe and working.
Start with the list you have
Most kitchens already have their equipment in a spreadsheet somewhere. Upload it with the smart uploader, map the columns once, choose the location, and Paddl creates the records in one go. No retyping each item.
Maintenance routines, drafted per item
Open a piece of equipment and click Set up maintenance routine. Paddl drafts a recurring checklist from the equipment type and its service interval, so a routine maintenance check appears for staff on a schedule instead of being remembered or forgotten. Review the draft, set how often it runs, and save. The routine stays linked to that equipment.
Risk assessments for operating equipment
From the same equipment, click Generate risk assessment to draft an assessment for operating and maintaining it. After importing a list, Paddl also offers a single assessment covering the equipment you just added, so a new site gets its equipment risk assessment without starting from a blank form.
Why this matters
Equipment failures are expensive and often avoidable. A documented maintenance routine spreads the cost of upkeep and catches problems early, and a risk assessment shows staff and inspectors that the risks of operating each machine are understood and controlled. Built from your real equipment, both reflect your kitchen rather than a generic template.
You still own the detail
Paddl drafts the routine and the assessment, you decide they are right. Check the steps and controls against how your team actually uses the equipment, edit anything that is off, and set sensible schedules and review dates before they go live.
This is part of how Paddl connects your records. One equipment list becomes your asset register, your maintenance routines, and your equipment risk assessment, so the upload does the work instead of sitting in a folder.
