Eating out is not good clean fun
December 1st 2011 The British are not convinced
about the hygiene standards of
staff in restaurants
and fast-food chains,
a new survey has
revealed.The Tork
Toilet Barometer, is
an annual survey of
washroom trends
commissioned by Tork
manufacturer SCA to coincide
with World Toilet Day. 4,000
Europeans took part in the survey
including 500 from the UK.
The study showed that 65% of
UK diners have walked out of a
restaurant because it had a grubby
appearance.Meanwhile 88%
suspect that if a restaurant toilet is
dirty, the same standards will be
reflected in the kitchen.Nearly a
quarter of UK respondents (22%)
said the cleanliness of
the toilet was a
significant factor for
them when visiting a
restaurant.
"Diners need to feel
confident about the
hygiene standards in an eating
establishment or they will simply
not stay," says Julie Ray, SCA
product and segment manager.
"One way restaurants can help to
instill confidence is by providing
clean, hygienic toilets equipped
with single-use paper towels and
soaps in sealed cartridge systems." More articles from SCA Hygiene Products UK Ltd: |
