4 Common Bakery Concerns & What Concept Recommends
Continual Audit Worries – Are you ahead of the game? Are your facilities being reviewed regularly and plant maintenance and equipment kept maintained? Are the external elements entering too much – increasing chances of unhygienic or unsafe environments?
Insect/Fly Ingress – Analyse your access ways to the outside environment. Is each entrance covered effectively? Are the doors being left open for fresh air? Or customers being turned off if you close them?
Air-Con Struggling – is there too much air entering from outside making it impossible for your air-con to run effectively? Customers/employees complaining of uncomfortable temperatures? Even product loss from occasional temperature spikes?
High Running Costs – can’t lower running costs, especially over summer? Always blaming the temperature soaring or customers for leaving the doors open?
These Concerns are not uncommon! They come up regularly and need to be constantly revisited to keep up.
As a result of analysing these concerns, and focusing on the doorway as the most significant factor in these problems, Concept has developed the following product recommendations:
Stripcurtains – a very effective barrier, especially for customer entrances, busy doorways & Coolrooms. Maintain visibility and ‘open appearance’ with clear Stripcurtains, but keep a constant barrier over your entry stopping fly ingress. Also of course, providing a thermal barrier – helping retain your internal temperatures and keep those running costs down. No more waiting for customers to shut that door!
Air Curtains – can’t have a barrier across your opening? Consider installing an Air curtain over that opening. Provides you with an unobtrusive clear vision barrier over your doorways! Proven to significantly reduce your insect/fly ingress whilst also maintain inside temperatures (assisting your air-con and decreasing your running costs)
PVC Swing Doors– another alternative for customer entrance, and also back of house/ load-out areas! A simple push through door system, very easy for customer and employees to use. Always swings shut instantly returning to be a physical barrier against insect ingress, and air leakage. Very low maintenance ensuring no increase to your everyday expenses.
