Alan O’Hargain brings both into his role at PMR, where his path from working through holidays and high-pressure service now informs how he supports large chain operators. His approach is direct, built on consistency and follow-through, with a clear understanding of what equipment performance looks like when it actually matters on the line. We sat down with Alan to learn a little more about him.  ### Tell us a bit about yourself. What path led you into the commercial foodservice industry? (It was) a long winding path through multiple kitchens, skipping past every holiday, birthday, and Mother’s Day celebration. ### How did you wind up at PMR? An industry friend. Aren’t all the best jobs through a friend? ### What types of customers do you work with most? I work mainly with large regional and national chains. ### What do you think makes a great rep group? The ones that always follow up. It’s amazing how simple it is. ### What’s your favorite piece of equipment to sell or demo — and why? A conveyor oven, customers are still impressed at the quality and volume that can be turned out. ### What do you enjoy most about working at PMR? In truth, the fact that they allowed me to move to the beach 😊 ![PMR Preview - Alan OHargain collage](https://read.pmreps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PMR%20Preview%20-%20%20Alan%20OHargain%20collage.png?width=900&height=900&name=PMR%20Preview%20-%20%20Alan%20OHargain%20collage.png) ### What makes PMR different from other rep groups? [Our manufacturers](https://pmreps.com/manufacturers/), they're all top-shelf.  ### What does great customer service mean to you in this industry? Follow up and then follow up some more.  ### If your customers described you in three words, what would they say? In Decipher Able. ### What's something most people don't know about you? I'm trying to learn Spanish.  ### What's your go-to comfort food? I'm a donut connoisseur.  ### What's your favorite restaurant and why? [Oceanic](https://www.oceanicrestaurant.com/), here in Wilmington. Their outside deck is my happy place.  ### Early bird or night owl? Night owl.  ### Dream home kitchen gadget? Not a gadget, but I'd love space for a second dishwasher.  ### Favorite sports team?  Liverpool.  ### Bucket list destination? Roswell, Georgia #### Thanks for chatting with us, Alan! ### If your team is looking for the best foodservice equipment and the best rep team, PMR has you covered: [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8232445/3ff251e1-6ca9-44ec-a3ac-0fbcfef056bc.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8232445/3ff251e1-6ca9-44ec-a3ac-0fbcfef056bc) Tags: [PMR Preview](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/pmr-preview) [Back to Blog](https://read.pmreps.com/blog) ### Subscribe Here! ### Lists by Topic - [Restaurants (23)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/restaurants) - [PMR Preview (19)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/pmr-preview) - [K-12 School Nutrition (12)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/k-12-school-nutrition) - [Vulcan (9)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/vulcan) - [Beverage (8)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/beverage) - [Healthcare (5)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/healthcare) - [Hospitality (5)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/hospitality) - [Ovention (5)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/ovention) - [Duke (4)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/duke) - [Perlick (4)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/perlick) - [Traulsen (4)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/traulsen) - [Trends (4)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/trends) - [Ventless (4)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/ventless) - [Winco (4)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/winco) - [Carlisle Foodservice (3)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/carlisle-foodservice) - [Convenience Store (3)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/convenience-store) - [Food Safety (3)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/food-safety) - [Hatco (3)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/hatco) - [ITW (3)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/itw) - [PMR (3)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/pmr) - [RATIONAL (3)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/rational) - [Waring (3)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/waring) - [Bakery (2)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/bakery) - [College & University (2)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/college-university) - [General (2)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/general) - [Griddle (2)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/griddle) - [Prince Castle (2)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/prince-castle) - [Spaceman (2)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/spaceman) - [Takeout & Delivery (2)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/takeout-delivery) - [Thermo-Kool (2)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/thermo-kool) - [Araven (1)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/araven) - [Charbroiler (1)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/charbroiler) - [Choice Equipment Company (1)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/choice-equipment-company) - [Correctional (1)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/correctional) - [Dinex (1)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/dinex) - [Dish Machines (1)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/dish-machines) - [Frying (1)](https://read.pmreps.com/blog/tag/frying) - [G.E.T.
