ABOUT US

About Us


Paranoid Android Restaurant Maintenance is the solution to all your restaurant facility needs.  We have over 100 years of experience combined in the industry.  Paranoid Android was founded by Pauly Hoffman after leaving a role of over 10 years as a Facilities Manager for one of the largest, most successful quick-service restaurant chains in the US.  Pauly met with many of the operations managers that he had worked with in the past and found that many of them are currently successfully running multiple units in high volume capacities.  He learned quickly they would certainly benefit from having a full-time facility manager, but may not have that position in the budget, or on the business model. Pauly decided to pool all his knowledge, skills, and vendors together to be able to offer his services to anyone in the industry.  We now have a team of qualified, experienced, techs, cleaning, staff, and support members to ensure nothing but the best experience possible while providing world class results in restaurant maintenance.
