« THE BIG SPRING CLEAN
Clean as a
WHISTLE With warmer days on their way and spring having sprung it’s time to get your venue spick and span and ready for the rush
A
clean, hygienic and welcoming venue is key, no matter what type of outlet you work in. First impressions count and people choose where to eat and drink by how clean and appetising a place looks. Covid rules and regulations should mean your venue is in tip-top condition and clean from top to bottom but check regularly so customers feel safe and comfortable and eager to return.
First glance
The outside of your venue and signage is the first impression people get, so it needs to be a positive one.
A clean and well-swept frontage with no sign of peeling paint or weeds is the look you need to go for. If you can, pop a few containers of brightly coloured plants outside to catch attention – pansies and violas make a pretty and cheap combo or just a simple tub of primulas and they’ll keep on flowering for weeks and weeks.
Dazzling display
Keep the good vibes going as customers step through the door. Do regular checks throughout the day that floors are swept free of dropped food and spills, make sure glass doors, windows and display cabinets are sparkling, fridges and chillers are gleaming, furniture is in good condition and any repairs made, decorations are dusted, cushions, seat covers and curtains or blinds are washed and clean and that there’s not a cobweb in sight. Wipe down your coffee and drinks machines, clean containers and trays and any bottles out on display, and ensure work and serving
