British Summer Time is here!

Here we are in April, and the clocks just went forward this last weekend. We all lost an hour’s sleep, but we gained longer evenings. We can look forward to warmer days and those pleasant evenings going out with friends, to the pub or to your favourite restaurant.

Then, in the middle of the month, we’ve got the Easter fortnight from April 12th to 27th

This is followed closely by the May Bank Holiday weekend 3rd to 5th which, no doubt, many will add to and take as a week’s holiday.

So, this is the beginning a more favourable times for all in the catering industry.

The Easter Fortnight

The true Easter weekend, 18th April to 21st inclusive will mean that some people will be able to extend their normal weekend by 2 nights from Thursday through to Sunday inclusive.

On the other hand, there will be those who have decided to take the whole fortnight which provides a possible increase in catering during the two weeks.

The May Bank Holiday

The May Bank Holiday, Saturday 3rd May to Monday 5th also extends the possibilities of dining out by an extra night or further if people use it as a week’s holiday.

These are the opportunities – are you ready?

Is everything in your establishment ready for the extra opportunities that may come your way during April and into the beginning of May?

Is the extraction system working properly, or does it need cleaning and maintenance?

If you’re not allowed to extract externally, CK Direct can provide the alternative, recirculating units. Why not have a look and call us on 01733 230378.

Is the condense hood over the dish washing area working well or perhaps it needs a bit of maintenance or you may even need to replace it?

Your neighbours will remain comfortable with you so long as the kitchen odours are kept to a minimum. So, it’s always good to check that any system you have is working properly. If you haven’t invested in one, to date, let me recommend the CK Direct AirTeck unit. It’s a very efficient ozone generator that eliminates smells by oxidising pathogens in the exhaust pipes and it also prevents the build-up of grease residue in the ductwork, preventing failures in the fans and fire hazards.

You know that wonky table in the kitchen? Sooner or later, it’s going to let you down. Why not bite the bullet now and order a new one to be manufactured to your specification at CK Direct 01733 230378.

The final thing on your checklist is, have you got enough of your table cleaning product to see you through the month into, and passed, the May Bank Holiday week? If in doubt we can supply you with an Enozo3 bottle, which produces the equivalent of 600 gallons of ready-to-use, chemical sanitiser.

There are No added detergents or harmful chemicals to be mixed, stored or discarded.

It is 100% natural, all-purpose, cleaning and sanitising solution that works faster and more effectively than environmentally harmful chemical cleaning solutions.

April and into May is going to be a busy and profitable few weeks so good luck!

For anything that you think of, that could put a spanner in the works, give us at CK Direct a ring on 01733 230378 – we’ll be glad to help.
