A FLAVOUR OF THE CHALLENGES FACED IN FOOD SERVICE

Aiming to deliver the best out-of-home food and drink experience, while adhering to food safety laws and codes, means there are plenty of challenges on the table for the food service and restaurant industry. It’s time to cut the complexity to keep goods moving, people safe, customers returning, and costs down.

INFLUENCED BY SUSTAINABILITY

Over half of consumers say restaurant sustainability practices are “somewhat influencing” their choice when dining away from home, with one in five going out of their way to eat at a sustainable restaurant.*

PUT OFF BY DIRTY WASHROOMS

80% of consumers say they’d avoid going to a restaurant with a dirty washroom**. And in times where bad experiences can be shared at the tap of a finger, you can’t afford to scrimp on cleanliness.

MORE VACANCIES

With staff vacancies in hospitality up by 83% and 45% of operators being driven to cut operating hours***, there is more pressure than ever to be efficient and get more done with less.

What could poor cleaning, hygiene and waste solutions be costing you?

BUDGET

Long-term investment pays off

While short-term savings can tempt the taste buds, opting for lower quality products leaves a sour taste in the long-term. Eliminate the frustration of faults and the cost of untimely replacement by opting for products that are durable by design – it helps you waste less too.

Sustainability

Your actions matter

70% of restaurants surveyed said improving their sustainability is a priority but only 41% say they’re currently running sustainable operations. With 57% of consumers believing the food service industry can have a significant impact on the environment, it’s time for businesses in the sector to take action.**

Absenteeism

Products that protect your people

When staffing pressures are high, the last thing you need is solutions that increase the risk of illness and injury. Ditch bulk fill soap and sanitiser dispensers for more hygienic**** touch-free sealed alternatives and choose equipment that’s been ergonomically designed to help prevent workplace injuries.

Reputation

Reviewing more than the food

With 75% of consumers being put off a restaurant by negative reviews about its cleanliness, it’s easy to see why equipment that delivers a high quality clean with maximum efficiency is the sensible choice. Away from dining areas, washrooms are just as important - 74% of people say dirty washrooms cause negative perceptions.*****
