Who’s Going To Clean That?

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Eating a meal in a restaurant is a great convenience. Usually the customer is able to select exactly what they are hungry for at a price that is reasonable or at least what they expect to pay. The added value for many restaurant patrons is that there is no going to the store to buy ingredients, no preparation, no cooking and best of all no dirty dishes or other clean up chores to do when the meal is finished. No clean up is one of the many reasons why there is no such thing as a free lunch!

Most of the heavy cleaning a restaurant needs to do is done after hours.  The quick clean ups between customers does take some time though and is necessary to maintain an establishment’s reputation.  A restaurant’s famous croutons, crunchy appetizers, tortilla chips or french bread are better anticipated than seen all over the furniture from the last customer’s meal.

Try to choose restaurant chairs, booths and bar stools with quick cleaning in mind.
