The presumption that a startup becomes a kitchen nightmare is just smoke and mirrors. Did you know that in 2016, the UK restaurant industry generated a turnover of approximately 34.9 billion British pounds?

Now, you’ve worked for years, took out the capital and are ready to pursue your passion in the restaurant business. Maybe you’ve looked into the market and seen a niche that’s long-gone unexploited, think the Vegan “meat” at next level burger.

Whatever your idea, be it homely or unknown, once you’ve got the equipment, the sites ready and the cooking is about to go underway. These are the top three services needed to keep the restaurant going in happy compliance.

 

Start strong with these three key services…

General Waste

Waste is a big issue for restaurants. With customers overfaced by big meals or food discarded during the food process. Food waste represents a massive cost to the restaurant sector, amounting to hundreds of millions lost each year through procurement, labour and waste management costs.

Keep in mind that there are plenty of picky eaters out there, do some common good with the leftovers by donating them to the local charity/food bank. If you want to reduce the food waste you put away, try offering doggy bags to customers to take back with them.

When you start up, start with your foot firmly forward with an environmentally-conscious waste management provider. At Direct365 we make sure that where your waste goes, it gets properly recycled. Get in touch; when you start a contract, we provide two weeks servicing free.

 

That should certainly help with the grand opening!

Washroom Hygiene

For a family-friendly restaurant, a baby-changing facility is ideal. Some parents use these facilities until their children reached three years old making these devices important, to have now more than ever. You’ll be one up on rivals who don’t have them. For more information, take a look at our restaurant baby changers blog.

Additionally, it’s pivotal to have a clean washroom environment. If your customers take a full 180° after entering the washroom, it would be ideal to have these choice items:

Soap dispensers to leave hands fresh and uncontaminated.

A stable hand dryer to quickly dry, saving you money on paper tissues.

Urinal sleeves, preventing debris and gum clogging up the drain system.

Pest Control

Pests can ruin a business. An infestation brings about contamination and destruction of both physical surroundings and of a company’s reputation. Even with a new food business, it’s about prevention. Don’t risk an infestation through negligence.

For the environmental health department it’s important to show diligence;  no issues then 1-2 years is appropriate for an inspection. If an infestation happens and you show no action, then your business has the potential to be issued a closure notice.

Avoid fines, avoid ruin. For a discreet pest control service get an instant quote today.
