Making moves towards efficiency
As a hospitality leader, you’ll be continuously facing pressure to drive productivity in your venue – wasting time on inefficient practices is a money drain.
When you’re in the busy business of serving a large number of customers and meeting high guest expectations, every second counts.
And whether you’re moving glass, linen, cleaning materials or waste, the equipment you choose to handle it can make all the difference.
THE PRICE OF POOR PRODUCTIVITY
It might seem like a cliché, but time really is money and implementing practices that boost productivity directly impacts your bottom line.
Inefficient processes can cost businesses 20-30% in revenue each year 1 - a sizeable chunk of overall profits.
And with just an extra 5 seconds causing a loss of profit 2 it’s true that every second counts.
Almost 3,000 hours of labour are lost every year due to poor productivity practices 3.
Identifying and getting on top of time inefficiencies quickly is essential for protecting your bottom line.
On average, employees take 3 sick days every year, costing a business of 100 employees around £35,000 a year 4 and over 90% of housekeepers report suffering work-related pain 5.

Designs that maximise storage capacity and include modular shelves, caddies and tool holders will keep essentials within reach, improving workflow while keeping supplies secure and organised.
