THE BUSINESS MANTRA IN FOOD SERVICE: EFFICIENCY UP, COSTS DOWN
Time is money – these days that is true in all sectors of the economy. It is therefore no surprise that all departments and processes in the hotel and food-service industries are under scrutiny in order to improve efficiency and conserve resources.
Take the example of the dishwashing area: few areas are subject to such high demands as this section of a food-service or hotel kitchen. At peak times, mountains of dirty crockery, cutlery and used glasses are delivered every minute. All of that has to be rinsed, sorted and loaded into the dishwashing machine by employees working under high pressure. 90 seconds later, it is the moment of truth: are plates, cutlery and glasses hygienically clean? Is the washware dry and does it shine without needing to polish it? And what about hygiene?
WHAT REQUIREMENTS DOES A DISHWASHING MACHINE HAVE TO MEET FOR FOOD-SERVICE OR HOTEL USE?
Michael Mayer, Head of Sales for Germany at specialist warewashing technology company MEIKO, takes a look at this question, drawing on a quote from Michelin starred chef André Tienelt, Head Chef at Hotel Ritter in Durbach (in southern Germany): ‘A plate is like a canvas for you to execute your culinary masterpiece and it has to be perfect!’ That is why perfect results from the dishwashing machine are so important – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Mayer believes it is also important to have, ‘efficient technology that saves the operator money on resources such as energy, water, chemical products, time and personnel’ as well. But that is by no means all...’
