Clean Restrooms=Returning Customers



Many people have said that the number one reason for not returning to a restaurant is not the food quality or service, its the cleanliness of the restrooms! Customers feel the restrooms reflect the kitchen and staff cleanliness. To your customers, the restroom is a window into the kitchen and the food prep areas. Impressing your customers with new restroom equipment and supplies can be some investment, but losing your customers to a dirty restroom is one you cant afford to put off any longer!

Once a customer has washed their hands in the restroom, they do not want to hassle with a paper towel dispenser that is not working properly. I recommend using a hand dryer, it may cost more in the beginning than a towel dispenser, but it will save you money in the end. The cost of new dispenser, plus towels to refill, and maintenance will be more expensive in the end. Toilet paper dispensers are another thing customers do not want to have trouble with. Refill your dispensers frequently. Replace any that are not working properly. You can purchase automatic Air Fresheners for your restrooms and save your time checking the restrooms after every customer has been in the facility. You can purchase different scents to fit your atmosphere.
As much as cleaning the restroom can be a dirty task, assign one of your employees to this job. It should be their sole responsibility to clean the restrooms daily. Ensure that trash is thrown and the toilets are scrubbed. You can even hire a cleaning service to deep clean your restrooms once or twice a week.
