ACCESS HOSPITALITY
Social distancing requirements: How technology can help manage your business in unprecedented times? At this point, nobody can say with any degree of certainty what social distancing regulations will be put in place by the Government, or indeed demanded by consumers. We do know however, that in order to reopen restaurants, bars and pubs, there will be a substantial need to review operational practices. The impact of this should not be underestimated, as it will affect every element of the business from managing covers, staff training, health and safety compliance through to critical cash flow and whether businesses can open and continue to be viable. For a sector that works to tight margins, reducing cover capacity is going to have a huge impact. Access Hospitality has put together a social distancing guide, which showcases the technology available to you that will assist in taking some of the angst out of planning and allow you to operate at maximum capacity within the social distancing regulations.

CBE
CBE now providing fully integrated online ordering and order at table solutions. Due to the current pandemic the recent growth of online food ordering has seen many establishments that have traditionally focused their attention on restaurant dining, now realising the benefits of expanding their operations to online ordering and order at table solutions. Over the past few months CBE have developed integrations to multiple online solutions, allowing customers to have their own branded online ordering websites and mobile ordering apps. Mobile ordering is the main hospitality topic that will be a key enabler for a return to business as usual. While mobile ordering has been on the market for a while, its true benefits have come to light in recent weeks. As hospitality brands work out how to adapt to a new socially distant era, mobile ordering is set to continually drive sales and play a key role in recovery plans. CBE have partnered with Flipdish, Wi-Q, and Preoday to offer such solutions to businesses within the hospitality sector, while also having integrations to various aggregators and driver management systems to allow for home delivery.

HCI UK
The Air-Reviver Air-Reviver is introducing a range of air purification and disinfection systems that benefits from state of the art virus, bacteria and parasite eradicating technology. Our products clean and disinfect the air, creating a much healthier environment for enclosed spaces while also providing peace of mind due to its ability to neutralise harmful particles. It is one of the only available products of its type in the UK. The Air-Reviver Technology The Air-Reviver technology is a unique system based on patented BIpolar Ionization technology. The Air-Reviver generates positive and negative ions, just like those found in nature. When it’s released in the air and mixes with existing H20 this causes a chemical reaction that neutralises harmful parasites, bacteria and viruses - we are awaiting tests on how this relates to the Covid-19, however, it is highly likely it can remove this virus as well.

HOSHIZAKI UK
Hoshizaki UK is helping foodservice operators to minimise touchpoints and improve hygiene within their operation through its range of self-serve DCM ice and water dispensers. Perfect for the hospitality environment, Hoshizaki DCM dispensers eradicate the need for hands-on contact with ice or water. In addition to this, Hoshizaki has taken hygiene precautions further by developing a unique lever design which prevents the lip of the cup or glass touching the machine, therefore minimising the risk of bacterial transfer. “Each Hoshizaki DCM ice/water dispenser features a clever LED system which allows the user to refill their cup or glass with ease,” says Roz Scourfield, national sales manager at Hoshizaki. “This is done by resting your cup or glass against the lever and pressing the ice/water button to start. Dispensers play a crucial role when providing ice and/or water for self-service. The three steps of quality ice production, protected ice storage and the quick service of ice are all combined in one device. Most commonly, Hoshizaki dispensers are used, where a quick, efficient, and food-safe serving of ice-water combinations is needed. The DCM dispenser portfolio accommodates suitable appliances for different requirements from serving amounts, storage capacity and space limitations. The range features models with various production capacities, starting at 60kg and reaching up to 230kg of ice per day.

PEL Waste Reduction Equipment
Antimicrobial ElectroPak Internal Litter Bin for General & Recycling Wastes The Electropak Bin from PEL Waste Reduction Equipment allows hospitality businesses to reduce the costs of managing recycling or general waste bins in the service area or at the back-of-house. ElectroPak is available in 120 litre, 240 Litre and 360 Litre capacities and uses a standard wheelie bin to hold litter. It incorporates an on-board compactor that increases the capacity by up to 10 times, which, in turn dramatically reduces the frequency of service required for the bin. An integrated bin-fill sensor monitors waste levels and triggers the compaction mechanism when waste levels reach a pre-determined height in the bin. ElectroPak automatically issues a notification when the bin requires service so no more over-flowing bins or staff checking half-empty bins rather than attending to customer service. ElectroPak, requires a 220V/60Hz mains electricity connection, comes in a range of RAL colours and is operated by means of a foot pedal operated so the public do not have to touch the bin when using it. A special Cu+ antimicrobial finish is also available which offers additional safety for the public. The ElectroPak bin is leak proof, the sealed design eliminates the possibility of odours, and its small footprint makes it unobtrusive and ideal for positioning in the service area. Call Tommy on 087 205 4300 / 094 936 6923 or email sales@pelmfg.com today for more details on the ElectroPak and the other PEL Waste Reduction Equipment products for reducing waste disposal costs. |
