Food hygiene is top priority for customers

Mobile sinks for caterers

Super Stallette for hand washing

Poor service preferable to bad hand hygiene says report

75 percent of consumers surveyed would not visit a restaurant that had been implicated in poor hygieneĀ related incidents, according to a recent report on the Facilities Management Journal (FMJ) website.

The article, byĀ Ā Sarah O’BerneĀ is based around a reportĀ produced byĀ Checkit.netĀ calledĀ ā€˜The Financial Impact of Poor Food Safetyā€™.

Of the 75 percent who would not visit a restaurant with prove hygiene violations, “43 per cent said theyā€™d never dine there, no matter what and 32 per cent would only return if the premises had closed down and re-opened under new ownership. Twenty-two per cent said they would only return if the food hygiene rating improved dramatically.”

Financial implications for restaurants

There are obvious implications for any establishment that falls foul of a hygiene inspection says the article, apart fromĀ fines – or even closure. They are highlighted byĀ Jan-Hein Hemke, managing director of contract cleaning specialists, Facilicom UK, who is quoted as saying

ā€œIf the potential threat to public health isnā€™t enough, perhaps the financial implications of the fact that ā€˜75 per cent of diners refuse to visit restaurants that have experienced food hygiene issuesā€™ will hit home for those establishments that arenā€™t taking cleaning seriously already.ā€
