One of the busiest industries is without a doubt the food industry. There is constant interaction among people in café’s, restaurants, deli’s, bars, or cafeterias. Cleanliness, hygiene, and safety are the most important factors in running a restaurant business. Whether it is a cafeteria in a large corporate office, or a small facility, customers and employees congregate when it is time to grab a bite. How can company owners or facility managers ensure safety, cleanliness, and hygiene in an area where food is being served?

Here are different kinds of matting solutions that can help provide safety in restaurants, bars, or a cafeteria:

Entrance Matting

If customers notice negligence and lack of attention in a restaurant or cafe, they will not return. Most of the dirt that enters a restaurant is usually tracked in when people enter the premises. Dirt, debris, and moisture can be stopped at the door with the right entrance matting. Entrance matting is not just functional, it provides a great aesthetic value to any café’s, bars or other eating and drinking establishments. SuperScrape Plus and WaterHog mats are great for entrances because they trap moisture, water, dirt, and dust.

Specialty Mats

Specialty mats help prevent accidental slips and falls. They can be placed in the restaurant kitchens, bathrooms, waiting areas or other specific areas where moisture needs to be controlled. Adhesive-backed matting in specialty mats helps keep them secure and rooted to one spot. Sure Stride matting is an adhesive-backed matting option. This functionality also prevents the mat from moving or slipping especially during high traffic season or very busy hours. Comfort Flow is another option that is well suited for the kitchen area.

Ergonomic Matting

Standing for a long time can put pressure on the legs, feet, muscles, spine, shoulders, and neck. Prolonged standing can also lead to chronic pain, injuries, and muscle tension. Ergonomic matting includes anti-fatigue matting which is great for employees who stand for an extended period. Ergonomic matting can help increase productivity. Restaurant owners or managers can help alleviate their employee’s pain by providing the right anti-fatigue matting. Complete Comfort II is a top-of-the-line ergonomic matting solution designed to provide maximum comfort and ease for those who stand and do their work.

Logo Mats

Logo mats are great for branding purposes and to help leave a lasting impression on your customers. Customizable logo mats are perfect for an entryway, waiting areas, seating areas, host stands or anywhere you think will look aesthetically appealing. Logo mats are not just restricted to displaying a logo, they can also be used to depict artwork, slogans or unique messages for your loyal clients and visitors. Superb photographic quality can be achieved on logo mats and shapes can also be customized to suit the décor or area of placement. Classic Impressions HD and WaterHog Inlay are great examples of logo mats.
