Restaurant Equipment Repair in South Florida
Walk-ins, ranges, fryers, hoods, ice, espresso — one dispatch, same day.
Why restaurants owners call Berne
Restaurant managers call us because a refrigeration loss after 7pm Friday isn't a ticket — it's lost revenue. We dispatch the right truck the first time: a refrigeration tech with R-410A and R-404A on board, a cooking-equipment tech who actually opens Vulcan and Hobart panels for a living, or both when a ticket reads "the line went down." That triage happens on the phone, not on the parking lot.
Eleven years operating across South Florida, 18 technicians on the road, 29,000+ services completed, and a 4.79-star average on 871 reviews. We're licensed and insured (DBA Berne Appliance Repair), EPA-certified for refrigerant work, and NDA-friendly for the verticals that need it.

Common restaurant repair issues we handle
- 1Walk-in cooler drifting from 38°F to 50°F after a Friday rush — usually a clogged condenser, slipping fan motor, or low charge on R-404A
- 2Hobart AM dishwasher tripping the wash pump or refusing to fill — often a thermistor or float switch, sometimes the line strainer
- 3Vulcan or Wolf range pilots that won't stay lit — thermocouple, pilot orifice, or gas valve
- 4Ice machine harvest stuck mid-cycle — Manitowoc J-Series water curtain switch or Hoshizaki float
- 5Fryer that won't ignite — Pitco hot-surface ignitor, gas valve coil, or high-limit safety
- 6Hood exhaust fan running loud or low CFM — belt, bearing, or makeup-air imbalance
- 7Prep table icing up the food pans — defrost timer, evap fan, or door gasket leak
Service area
We dispatch across all three South Florida counties for restaurants: Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Most emergencies receive same-day response from Miami Beach to Boca Raton.
Why same-day matters for restaurants
Restaurants live on Friday and Saturday night covers. A 6pm refrigeration call we book for Tuesday means the operator is dumping inventory and losing a service. Our dispatch is built to flip a refrigeration emergency to a tech inside 90 minutes from Miami Beach to Boca Raton most evenings — and we carry common Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Turbo Air and Hobart parts on the truck so the second visit is the exception, not the rule.
Restaurant operators who run premium kitchens at home can route home-side dispatch to Berne's premium residential team at berne-repair.com; the back-office is shared, so the call gets the same dispatch quality on either side.
