As the tourist season looms over the horizon and the bottom line gets studied a little harder this year as we prepare for the media driven uncertain times ahead, do think about how you do things such as cleaning, paper tissue dispense and food to go packaging.
It is not the price that is always important it is the process where money is thrown down the drain or in the recycling literally. I can boast that we have saved people alot of money by just changing the way they do things, to the benefit also of maintenance, time and customer satisfaction.
Examples are:
1) Change your paper dispensers to avoid stub roll or excess use waste from bad systems (jumbo and centre feed rolls are the worst culprits).
2) Offer your customers a napkin with their meal don't allow them to help themselves they are only stocking up for later.
3) Don't buy chemicals you don't need just because your cleaners are set in their ways, we have sleep walked into over use, lets roll back to the 50's and look to better materials and more natural fluids.
4) Don't buy machine detergents on price, cheap drums are typically watered down heavily and perform badly creating poor results, extra work and pressure on the pass.
5) Stop buying happening in all departments of a business, have a central cleaning or consumable system that crosses over all areas. This reduces stock, health and safety issues and money.
6) Train staff constantly and make sure systems and decisions are monitored by supplier and staff member responsible so the initial projected cost savings etc are realised.
