What Palo Alto does
to a commercial appliance.

Palo Alto is home to more than 7,000 businesses that together employ more than 98,000 people.

Stanford, counting the university and Stanford Health Care, is the city's largest employer at about 18,000 workers, and the VA Palo Alto Health Care System is also in the top five.

Stanford Research Park, started in 1951 by the university and the city, covers about 700 acres around Page Mill Road with 10 million square feet of commercial space.

Palo Alto has two downtowns, each with its own Caltrain stop: one along University Avenue and one along California Avenue.

Chef-designed cooking lines

A custom cooking suite built as one piece shares gas manifolds, electrical feeds and a single hood, and a problem on one burner or griddle there is checked against the whole suite before any single part is replaced.

Newer developments

Town centers built in one push often share a single contractor's choices, the same roof racks for condensing units and the same drain routes, so when one tenant's walk-in drain backs up or freezes, the kitchen next door is worth a look.

Family houses

Suburban family restaurants and school cafeterias run fryers, griddles and dish machines through predictable rushes, and wear shows first on the busiest units, so maintenance there follows the school calendar and the weekend peaks.

When a commercial appliance
cannot wait in Palo Alto.

In Palo Alto as anywhere, these five put the crew, the guests or the product in the building at risk, and they mean the unit stays off, or the food moves, until we arrive: a gas smell on the cooking line, a fryer or grease fire, a walk-in or reach-in above 41°F with food inside, water on the floor near cords or a panel, and a hot electrical or burning smell.

All 17 problems
An empty stainless restaurant cooking line after hours, every burner on the fryers and griddle dark and cold, a yellow gas shutoff handle on the pipe behind the line turned crosswise to closed, the back door of the commercial kitchen propped open to the night. Gas, fire, food at risk or water near power
