Case Study | Facilities | Innovative Solutions: The EcoSTORM System for Fast Food Restaurants

In the bustling environment of a fast-food restaurant, maintaining a clean and hygienic kitchen is essential for ensuring customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. However, challenges such as clogging, odor, fruit fly infestations, and hygiene concerns can disrupt kitchen operations and compromise food safety standards. This case study explores the implementation of the ecoSTORM system in a fast food restaurant located in one of the world’s busiest airports, highlighting its transformative impact on addressing these challenges.

Problem

The fast-food restaurant faced several kitchen-related challenges, including frequent clogging, unpleasant odors, fruit fly infestations, and hygiene concerns. These issues not only disrupted kitchen operations but also posed potential health risks to customers and staff. Finding a comprehensive solution to address these challenges was imperative for maintaining cleanliness, hygiene, and operational efficiency in the restaurant’s kitchen.

Solution

To combat the kitchen-related challenges effectively, the restaurant installed one unit of the ecoSTORM system in the manhole kitchen. The ecoSTORM system offers an innovative solution to mitigate clogging, eliminate odor, and control fruit fly infestations while maintaining optimal hygiene standards. By implementing the ecoSTORM system, the restaurant aimed to create a clean, pleasant, and hygienic environment in its kitchen, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations.

Result

The installation of the ecoSTORM system yielded significant improvements for the fast-food restaurant:

• The frequency of unclogging reduced to quarterly intervals, resulting in substantial cost savings of over $1000 per unclogging session.
• The reduction in unclogging frequency significantly decreased maintenance costs and operational disruptions, allowing the restaurant to allocate resources more efficiently.
• Additionally, the kitchen experienced no bad odor or fruit fly infestations, maintaining a clean and pleasant environment consistently. This not only enhanced customer satisfaction but also upheld food safety standards and hygiene regulations.
