A multi-site evaluation was conducted at a Quick Serve Restaurant chain. PURE Hard Surface replaced the current sanitizer without change of corporate in-store SOPs, in the kitchen, food preparation and dining areas. During the three-month evaluation, control stores were tested concurrently using the current chain sanitizer. Corporate protocol stated that APC counts higher than a specific level were considered to be a reportable “incident”.
The Challenge
The national restaurant chain faced a significant challenge in maintaining high sanitation standards across multiple locations. They needed a powerful and effective sanitizer that could be integrated into their existing corporate Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) without any disruptions. The primary concern was to find a solution that would not only enhance hygiene but also provide peace of mind for both staff and customers.
The Solution
Over a two-month evaluation period, PURE Hard Surface was used at the bar, food preparation areas, and dining areas in multiple restaurant locations.
The Results
The results of the two-month evaluation were compelling. Locations using PURE Hard Surface experienced a significant improvement in sanitation standards. The average Colony Forming Units (CFU) dropped to just 30, with 93% of swabs showing no growth. In stark contrast, control stores using the standard sanitizer had an average of 8,985 CFU, with only 10% of swabs showing no growth.
These metrics clearly demonstrate the superior efficacy of PURE Hard Surface in maintaining a hygienic environment, ultimately enhancing food safety and customer satisfaction.
