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 and hand drying 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 both plentiful and easy to use.
High capacity systems housing skin-friendly products will ensure a long-lasting supply and prevent the hands of staff members from running out with frequent use. Soft towels and fragrance-free soaps will be kinder on the skin. For example, Tork Odour-Control Liquid Soap is skin-friendly and helps remove common food odours from the hands.
The dispenser for Tork Soap has been designed to require a particularly low push-force and has been certified Easy to use by Swedish Rheumatism Association, promoting good hand hygiene for all users. Each refill comes in a factory-sealed bottle with a new pump to help reduce risk of contamination. And 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. And 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 at a kitchen wash station 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 should also be equipped for speedy use. Diners are more likely to skimp their hand

hygiene if they have had to queue, and this will spell bad news if they then to go on to share bread and tapas with a dinner companion.
Washrooms should therefore be equipped with long-lasting systems that ensure a continuous supply of soap and paper. Tork Foam Soap is again a good option, and a high-capacity paper towel system will help to 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. Each towel is delivered in just three seconds, allowing the user to take a towel and move on, freeing up the unit for the next washroom visitor.
One way in which time will be saved in tomorrow’s kitchens will be through technology. It is already being used to ensure that restaurant washrooms are kept clean, hygienic and well stocked at all times. For example, Tork Vision Cleaning allows restaurant cleaners to check via a smartphone or tablet when a facility is likely to need a service or when one of the dispensers is running empty. This removes the need for them to make multiple journeys to the facility, saving time and cutting down on costs.
Back in the kitchen, robot cleaners that can detect spills are being brought in to free up food workers for other tasks, while robot chefs with articulated arms are increasingly being used to carry out repetitive food preparation actions such as chopping, stirring and assembling ingredients.
So, good organisation and smart processes can help food workers to save valuable time in the kitchen – but corners should never be cut. For it remains essential that every meal should be served carefully, lovingly and hygienically – even if that takes a few extra seconds.
