Why This Partnership Matters

In a commercial kitchen, operational uptime is critical. A single maintenance issue, whether it involves ventilation, refrigeration, plumbing, or gas, can disrupt service, introduce safety risks, and directly impact revenue.

‍

Traditional contractor management is often slow, fragmented, and difficult to oversee, particularly across multiple sites. It is rarely designed for the pace or compliance requirements of foodservice operations.

‍

Checkatrade for Business is built for professional operators and property teams, and it closely aligns with the operational realities we see across the Oya marketplace.

‍

Through Checkatrade for Business, Oya users can:

• Raise repair or compliance jobs in minutes
• Get matched with local, vetted trades
• Manage both reactive and planned works in one place
• Schedule essential compliance checks, including gas, electrical, and fire safety
• Track jobs from issue raised through to completion
• Maintain clear records for audits and landlord or tenant reporting
• Integrate with leading property and facilities management systems

All trades are vetted, insured, and independently reviewed, giving confidence that work is completed to a professional standard.
