Why Your Restaurant Won’t Benefit from Clogged Drains

Clogged drains can impact your restaurant and you can’t afford to lose customers.

Among the hustle and bustle of generating a unique dining experience, employees and management often overlook the restaurant’s drains. You only have one chance to leave a remarkable impression to retain customer loyalty, so why should you ignore a problem that could impact if a client returns? Clogged drains can impact your restaurant and you can’t afford to lose customers.

An Onset of Flies in Your Restaurant

If your plumbing drains are clogged, multiple signs will appear. These might include gurgling pipes, unpleasant odors, or many flies. Unfortunately, those flies will linger around your restaurant. This will distract your clients while they are eating! Your employees will also get annoyed trying to complete their jobs quickly. Overall, the presence of flies in your restaurant creates an unhealthy environment.

Uncleaned Grease Traps Result in Funky Odors

The clogged drains in your restaurant are not only limited to the restroom but also to the kitchen. However, your grease trap is critical. A grease trap is a path through which the kitchen’s wastewater slides to intercept grease so it doesn’t enter the sewer. Depending on the size of your dining establishment, you must maintain your grease trap and pump it at least once quarterly.

Otherwise, the longer waste is allowed to sit in a grease trap, the more bacteria will form. Long-term exposure to bacteria can impact the health of your employees and customers, resulting in illness. In addition, your grease trap could possibly shut down your restaurant since it is a health code violation.

Slow Work Productivity

It can be time-consuming if you consistently wait for the kitchen’s food-preparation sink to drain after cutting vegetables or for the sink to drain after a heavy load of meal dishes. It may not sound like much, but all those minutes add up within a day, a week, and even a month.

A Messy Restroom

A restroom has a significant impact on your restaurant’s dining experience. Patrons are much less likely to return to your dining establishment if they pay at a moderately priced restaurant and enter a dirty bathroom. Suddenly, that high-end pasta bowl or seafood dish is not as appetizing as it was. Don’t allow your clogged drains to be the reason for a customer’s loss because they weren’t addressed. B&D Plumbing sees it time and time again!
