Tork, the world’s leading professional hygiene brand, provides restaurants with tips and dedicated resource websites to promote their non-local business
Philadelphia, May 18, 2021, PR Newswire/-In recent years, consumers’ consumption behavior has shifted to non-local dining. This pandemic has accelerated this trend. Quick service restaurants (QSR) with takeaway and delivery infrastructure have already taken advantage of this shift in public health guidance. On the other hand, full-service restaurants (FSR) that specialize in providing dining experiences are in a more vulnerable position. In view of dining restrictions and consumers’ continued preference for non-local dining, FSR must now switch to non-local services such as takeaway and delivery. According to a study by NPD, from 2019 to 2020, the number of takeaways in the U.S. FSR segment has increased significantly, from 18% to 60%1
Di Neal, an industry expert and North American food service marketing manager for Tork brand manufacturer Essity, said: “The increase in demand for non-local dining has created opportunities for restaurants.” “The QSR department has an advantage because these restaurants have been using this service for many years. . But now is the time for the entire industry to seize this opportunity and adapt to changing consumer behavior.”
According to Essity’s latest research, 60% of restaurant customers will have higher expectations for restaurant hygiene standards in the future. 2 Therefore, ensuring the restaurant’s sanitary experience and clearly communicating their efforts to the guests is of the utmost importance to the restaurant. To help QSR and FSR cope with this new hygiene standard, Neal provides five tips for safer removal and transportation:
Tork has launched a dedicated resource webpage that contains industry knowledge and tips to help restaurants ensure the hygiene of dining and catering from the kitchen to the handover site. This page includes a guide with information on how to ensure safer takeout and delivery, hand hygiene posters, receiving station signs, instructions on how to use QR codes, and other useful information for restaurant staff.
