Hoshizaki in Palo Alto
Hoshizaki commercial service.
Palo Alto Hoshizaki work concentrates on University Avenue and California Avenue restaurants, plus the sushi cases in the Japanese restaurants on both corridors. KM-series cubers feed the bar and waitstation ice. Sushi cases run the discharge-airflow thermistor that drifts and holds 6 to 8 degrees warm. That is a health-inspector problem before it is a customer-noticed problem.
Bay Area hard water at the Palo Alto municipal supply pushes scale on the evap plate faster than the Hoshizaki manual implies. The KM cuber 20% production drop is almost always scale, not a system fault. We delime, verify production, and put the kitchen on a deliming schedule. ZIPs 94301, 94303, 94304, and 94306. After-hours: (925) 999-4095.
