“Schools out for summer!”
AND approximately 53% of families are planning UK staycations this year.
Yes !
- The rising cost of living has limited the amount that families have to spend on holidays
- Rising air fuel prices means that families can’t be sure that their holiday flights cost will not rise after they have booked.
- It’s easier to stay in the UK: there’s no 3 hour wait in an airport, and there’s no prospect of unexpected delays. You simply load the car and drive to your holiday destination.
- Closer to home to keep costs down – There’s a 7% drop in the average distance travelled, with many opting for micro-staycations within 1 to 2 hours from home.
All of this is means Opportunity for UK catering businesses
Whether you are a large hotel, a pub, a restaurant, a small tea-room or even a van selling fast food, this year’s summer holidays will be a time of increased foor-fall.
So, are you ready?
Here’s a check list:
- Sanitisation
Have you got sufficient environmentally friendly sanitiser for your tables, work surfaces and counters? - Effective Extraction in the kitchen
If your system was cleaned and maintained over 6 months ago, it’s a good idea to get it cleaned and maintained now. That way you’ve got the summer-to-Christmas period covered. - Filters
Assuming that the extraction system is working fine, you will still need to check that your filters are clean and that you have enough in stock for replacements. - Reduce the humidity
All kitchens get hot and the last thing you want as well is high humidity.
So, it’s worth looking to get a dishwasher condensing hood. This minimizes the steam and keeps the environment more staff friendly, so that morale stays high and with it, work efficiency. - Outside – Odour
Are you getting complaints about the odour coming from your kitchen?
If you are, you need the CK Direct AirteckG64. It is a highly efficient ozone generator, which eliminates smells by oxidising pathogens in the exhaust ducting.
It’s installed on the outside of the ductwork, between the extraction point and the exhaust fan, so servicing and maintenance is easy.
An added bonus is that it also prevents the build-up of residue in the ductwork, preventing failures in fans and potential fire hazards.
Summing all of that up, it means that you keep your neighbours happy and keep the extraction system working better and safer for longer.
