Banquet kitchens, F&B outlets, ice service. One contractor across the whole property.

Tampa Bay hotels, resorts, and convention venues run multiple kitchens, multiple ice programs, and complex F&B logistics under one roof. We become the single accountable contractor for refrigeration across the property — banquet kitchen, restaurant outlets, lobby bar, pool grill, in-room dining, mini-bar fleet, and the central commissary feeding all of it.

01 / Equipment we service

Property-wide refrigeration.

Full-service hotels, resort properties, convention hotels, boutique properties, beachfront resorts. F&B-driven properties get the most leverage.

Banquet kitchen walk-ins & blast chillers

High-volume cold storage feeding banquet plating, plus blast chillers for cook-chill workflows.

Restaurant outlet refrigeration

Each F&B outlet has its own line — prep tables, reach-ins, undercounter units, ice machines. We standardize PM across them.

Lobby bar & pool grill

Beer coolers, frozen-drink machines, reach-ins, ice — the equipment guests see most.

Ice service

Central ice machines feeding F&B and ice carts; corridor ice machines on guest floors. Volume and reliability matter equally.

Mini-bar fleet

In-room mini-bar refrigeration management, replacement, and refrigerant-charge documentation across hundreds of units.

Central commissary cooling

Receiving coolers, dry-prep cold rooms, and the back-of-house infrastructure feeding outlets.

02 / What's different in hotels

What makes hotels different.

A property is a city. Refrigeration is distributed across F&B, banquets, ice service, and guest rooms — and a single failure has guest-facing consequences.

Guest-facing failures are reputation-grade

A warm in-room mini-bar or a fountain-ice outage at a poolside bar reads as "this hotel doesn't care." Service speed maps directly to TripAdvisor scores.

Engineering team is the customer

You have a hotel engineer or chief engineer. We work alongside, not around — they own the relationship internally; we provide the trade expertise.

Banquet load is event-driven

Wedding Saturday with 400 plates. Walk-in fails Friday morning. We pre-stage equipment and prioritize banquet refrigeration when an event is on the books.

F&B outlets each have a DBPR file

Each food outlet at a property has its own DBPR establishment ID. FrostIQ™ tracks them separately and rolls inspection risk up to the property level.

03 / Platform fit

Hotels are full-stack territory.

Multiple DBPR outlets, dozens of cold assets, and chief engineers who want one portal — every product on our platform earns its keep.

FrostIQ™DBPR Intel

Per-outlet DBPR risk + property rollup

Each F&B outlet tracked separately by DBPR establishment ID. Property-level rollup of risk score, recurrent violations, and inspection cadence.

ColdSentry™Monitoring

Property-wide sensor network

Banquet walk-ins, outlet refrigeration, central ice, and guest-floor mini-bars on one monitoring backbone. Engineering staff get prioritized alerts.

ArcticOS™Portal

Chief engineer's command center

Open work orders, dispatch ETA, equipment registry, monitoring dashboards, FrostIQ outlet rollups, and invoices — one portal, one login.

04 / Regulatory

Multi-outlet DBPR coordination.

Properties with multiple F&B outlets carry multiple DBPR food-establishment licenses. Each is inspected independently. FrostIQ™ pulls all of them into a single property view, surfacing patterns that span outlets — useful for chief engineers managing brand-standard compliance across an operating portfolio.

05 / Engagement

How we work with hotels

Property master service agreement

Single contract covering all refrigeration across F&B, banquets, ice service, and mini-bar fleet.

Banquet event protection

Pre-event walkthrough on contracted high-stakes events; on-call standby during the event window.

Brand-standard PM cadence

Quarterly PM tuned to brand-standard requirements (Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG operating standards) where applicable.
