Testimonials
Trusted by San Francisco's Top Restaurants
Quince & Co.
Facilities management is a perpetual cause for frustration in any restaurant environment. We work in a business where immediacy and details are the difference between being good and being world class. The margin for error is incredibly small. We need equipment to work flawlessly, and our facilities always ready to receive guests. Off My Plate takes this frustration, quite literally, off of your plate. Working with Michael has truly been a great experience. Off My Plate has seamlessly integrated into our operations, providing us with swift, effective service that minimizes downtime and keeps our restaurants running at the highest level of excellence.
Michael is incredibly quick to respond to issues, and even quicker to find solutions. From routine maintenance to handling urgent repairs, he is consistently proactive, reliable, and professional. His expertise and attention to detail allow us to focus on delivering exceptional dining experiences without the worry of facility-related issues. We trust Off My Plate completely, and their support has become an integral part of our success.
I wholeheartedly recommend Off My Plate for any business. They have proven time and again that they are more than just a service provider – they are a true partner in our operations.

Off My Plate took over managing many of our repair and maintenance needs and was also able to assist with the upgrading of some of our outdated systems. With limited staffing resources recently, this has meant increased responsibilities for all of us in operations which left little time for additional projects like this one.
OMP organized an upgrade to our internet service provider as well as our network infrastructure which allowed us to utilize a modern phone system. This work had some up front costs but has saved us hundreds of dollars a month on our phone bill.

As an operator, bringing Michael on board has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. From the beginning, he stepped naturally into our operation with very little oversight. There was no hand-holding or constant follow-up. He understood our priorities, got organized quickly, and immediately started taking meaningful work off our plate.
What I appreciate most is that Michael sees the bigger picture. He approaches every decision with long-term stewardship in mind, helping us prioritize capital investments, protect our assets, and allocate resources where they’ll have the greatest impact. His recommendations are thoughtful, financially responsible, and always grounded in what’s best for the business over the long term.
After a lifetime in hospitality, you learn to recognize experience when you see it. Michael is the real thing. There’s a reason he has earned the trust of so many legacy businesses and longtime operators. He understands the realities of running restaurants, maintaining older buildings, and making decisions that support the operation for years to come.
I don’t think of Michael as an outside contractor. He’s a trusted partner. He holds vendors accountable, gives honest advice, and helps us stay ahead instead of constantly reacting. Just as importantly, he’s helped create a safer, better-maintained workplace for our team while giving our leadership confidence that we’re planning ahead instead of constantly putting out fires. I genuinely can’t imagine operating without him. He literally saved us (oh boy, do we have stories to tell)
