The wall-mounted Tork Reflex system has a rotating nozzle which allows the paper to be pulled out swiftly with one hand and from any angle, speeding up cleaning when time is of the essence. Tork Reflex can also be supplied in a portable dispenser.
When it comes to hand hygiene, soap and paper dispensers should be plentiful as well as being easy to use. The dispenser for Tork Foam Soap has been designed to require a particularly low push-force for ease of use. Each refill serves up to 1,650 users – which means the dispenser is less likely to run out when a hand wash is urgently needed. A new cartridge takes just seconds to snap into place to ensure a constant supply.
Drying is a vital part of any hand hygiene regime, but air dryers rarely feature in kitchen wash stations because they take at least 10 seconds to dry the hands. However, the wrong type of paper towel dispenser can also slow up the hand drying process.
For example, it can be hard to pull out a single C-fold towel from a dispenser, which means staff will struggle to access one when needed. They will all too often end up pulling out a clump of towels, causing frustration and wasting valuable seconds while also contributing to higher costs.
The Tork Matic Hand Towel Roll dispenser is a good alternative in the kitchen because it gives out towels singly in a seamless operation, and holds sufficient towels for up to 1,400 hand dries.
The washrooms of any restaurant can also house ‘time thieves’ – particularly if they are congested spaces where queues are likely to form.
Busy washrooms will lead to delays throughout the restaurant since servers will refrain from bringing out dishes

when they can see that customers are absent from their table, and this could lead to kitchen back-ups and food going cold.
Washrooms should therefore be equipped with long-lasting systems that ensure a continuous supply of soap and paper in order to prevent any cubicles becoming out of service. Tork Foam Soap is again a good option, and a high-capacity paper towel system will help prevent the queues and logjams that will inevitably form in washrooms where hand dryers are installed.
For example, the Tork PeakServe Continuous Hand Towel Dispenser caters for over 1,000 washroom visitors between refills – 600 more than most other dispensers. The towels are divided into bundles and a new bundle may be inserted into the unit at any time to ensure a constant supply. The dispenser has been designed to give out sheets of paper singly to avoid excess use and keep down costs.
‘Time thieves’ may also be found lurking in the restaurant menu. Long and complicated lists of food items will make it difficult for customers to make a choice – particularly if they need to ask questions about the dishes on offer first. Menus should therefore be clearly presented and well- structured in order to meet customer expectations while also creating as little stress as possible for the chefs.
Time is of the essence in any restaurant kitchen. Customers will become restive when they have to wait too long for their food, and a slow delivery will also result in fewer covers and reduced profits for the venue.
It is therefore imperative to identify and overcome every restaurant ‘time thief’ to ensure an efficient and productively-run business.
