HOW TO PASS A RESTAURANT HEALTH INSPECTION #1 PT1

by

This is an on going weekly article about properly helping restaurant owners pass health inspections. We operate a restaurant deep cleaning service called www.restaurantcleanonestop.com  you can visit us and we will work with you to help you stay on top of making sure that you always have a passing score with The Health Department.

This week we will highlight a restaurant that is a Seafood Restaurant location. We rarely get calls from seafood restaurant locations, to complete deep clean services, but lets take a look at what the results are.

They were inspected on May 31, 2016. They had 3 violations . All 3 violations were just basic violations. 

1  Covered waste receptacle not provided in women’s bathroom.employee restroom

2  No Heimlich maneuver/choking sign posted.

3  No handwashing sign provided at a hand sink used by food employees.employee restroom. **Corrected On-Site**

These were all minimal violations. They did a pretty good job despite it being a seafood location. The smell of Seafood is stronger than most other food types and attracts unwanted critters. So our advice is to always moved restaurant equipment from walls, and remove any fallen food, or grease buildup. Then this service should be completed 1x per week or 1x per quarter depending on the level of buildup.

They were inspected July 19, 2016, with 3 more basic and intermediate violations

  1.  Basic – Employee personal items stored in or above a food preparation area. Observed employee hat setting on a prep table in front of the dish machine. **Corrected On-Site**
  2. Basic – Wet mop not stored in a manner to allow the mop to dry, by the mop sink setting inside the mop bucket. **Corrected On-Site
  3. Interior of reach-in cooler soiled with accumulation of food residue. Observed the four door reach in freezer solider buildup. **Corrected On-Site**

Now these restaurants get 1-2 inspections a year unless they receive complaints, and they pay follow up visits.  A way to avoid being shut down is to have a cleaning service to really clean hard to reach areas. Your restaurant staff can clean the rest to cut cost and save you money, but you must hire a restaurant deep cleaning service to clean the hard to reach areas, because your staff will not clean those areas. They will do he minimal cleaning and you will be at risk of catching violations everytime, and having your personal restaurant information published by the health Department. You also do not want to be shut down for a violation that could’ve been avoided.

www.restaurantcleanonestop.com is a national restaurant cleaning service, and we help restaurant owners stay on top of health inspections, and avoid being shut down from failing scores. You can visit our website and fill out our online form. We will contact you within 2 hrs and setup a walkthrough of your location, and give you a free quote.

Touchless Technologies In The Built Environment

by

Touchless technologies such as QR codes and NFC encompass Doordeck’s smartphone door access control product allowing for secure and safe building access. The pandemic encouraged the use of touchless technologies for a variety of uses from bringing menus up on your smartphone to entering sports and music venues. Doordeck welcomes the increased familiarity with these technologies and the convenience and safety benefits they bring. 

History of the QR Code

A technology that has flourished over the pandemic years is the QR code. A touchless technology was invented by an engineer named Masahiro Hara, 26 years ago. Over these years, companies and tech pioneers all over the world tried to drive QR code adoption, however, only a few countries found success with it, one obvious country being China with WeChat Pay for example… But it wasn’t until Coronavirus hit that it became commonly known globally through its use for customer check-ins and menus in bars and restaurants, as well as being used in contact-tracing apps in several countries.

In 1994 there was no way Hara would have known how successful his invention would play out to be through the widespread use of smartphones and the acceleration by the pandemic. What other uses will the QR code facilitate? We at Doordeck have of course embraced it as a way to enter buildings and issue visitor passes through smartphone browsers but what other potentials does this constantly developing technology have in store.

Doordeck’s visitor management system 

Doordeck’s visitor management system uses two touchless technologies for visitors to enter a building. From visitors arriving for an event or a meeting to tradespeople and delivery men, all Doordeck customers can use the QR code scanner on their smartphone browser for keyless entry into a building. Otherwise, the visitor or employee can enter using NFC keyless entry if they choose to download the Doordeck app, this will allow for fast, reliable and secure door access, this is preferred by those employees using Doordeck every day. 

Digital society means digital ticketing 

Ignited by the pandemic sports teams noticed that they required upgraded smart access systems to enable safer entry for fans into stadiums. The idea is that fans would enter the stadium via NFC entry through tickets in their Apple Wallet or otherwise using a QR code. Access would also need to be temporary due to a match only lasting a couple of hours therefore according to time and date of the match but also personal, in the sense that only the person with the specific ticket can enter. This is an ability Doordeck has been implementing successfully since its development. The same approach goes for venues that house other entertainment events such as music, theatre or comedy clubs.

Benefits of the digital visitor pass

There are flaws such as time and cost associated with the process of a receptionist issuing new visitor passes. Doordeck avoids all these problems with its digital visitor management system, a building admin can set up access for a new user in minutes, the only thing required is their email address and all they need is their smartphone – a process that completely skips the requirements for a receptionist.

Granted access to the visitor can even be set to deactivate automatically after the end time that is set, of course, this can also be done manually as many times for as many users you require to give keyless access to your building. 

If none of this has persuaded you, perhaps the environmental impact of plastic waste will. No more lost keycards or access fobs saving money on replacements as well as helping to save the environment from plastic pollution. 

Visit www.doordeck.com to see how the convenience of digital visitor passes can benefit your building and help save the environment at the same time.

Here’s Everything You Need To Know About Relationship Selling

by

Relationship-based selling is a tried and tested technique where businesses train their sales executives to prioritise connection building with a client (prospective or existing) before pitching a product or service.

Importance Of Relationship-Based Selling

Most of the time, a product or service is being sold by sales executives by only highlighting Unique Selling Points of the same. However, over the years, it has been witnessed that this trick is losing its efficacy.

Hence, relationship selling is slowly but surely becoming the norm in the corporate world. Moreover, the technique is so efficient that small scale enterprises like salons and grocery shops have started relying on this form of selling in recent years.

Relationship-Based Selling Best Practices

Now that you are aware of what relationship selling is and its importance, it is time to learn about the best practices of the technique.

They are as follows – 

It Is Best To Connect With Your Clients On A Personal Level

Relationship-based selling works best when the sales executive or the business owner connects with their client personally. One must steer clear of the small talk and learn about the client by discussing aspects about their life or work – discussions that are unrelated to the sales pitch.

By projecting yourself as a friend instead of just a person trying to sell something, you will be able to form a long-lasting relationship with your client that will surely boost your sales projections by many folds in the years to come.

Always Be Honest While Pitching A Product Or Service

Never hold back information about a product or service. Be transparent with the client. Avoid misinformation at all costs during the pitch. Fail to do this, and you will lose your client’s trust in a moment! After this, there is no chance of the client coming back to you to buy your product or subscribe to the services your brand offers!

You Have To Be Patient

Relationship-based selling demands a lot of patience from a sales executive or business owner. Patience is important, especially when the sales executive or business owner is pitching an expensive product or premium service to existing clients or prospective customers.

A premium product or service comes with a higher sticker price; hence, a client will surely take their time to decide about spending their hard-earned money. The sales executive or the business owner would need to patiently address incoming queries from their client in a bid to close the deal. If the sales executive or the business owner rushes into completing the agreement, the client might back out completely!

Example Of Relationship-Selling

Since time immemorial, you have been going to a salon and getting your haircuts from a specific hairdresser.

Why?

Well, you and the hairdresser have a strong bond. Of course, the professional knows the type of hairstyle you prefer, but you also find it comforting to have long conversations with the person during the hairdressing session.

Here, the hairdresser has succeeded in creating a bond with you and has gained you as a permanent customer – a perfect example of relationship-based selling.

Don’t you agree!?

Conclusion

Relationship-based selling is perfect for B2B sales environments across all sectors of the global economy. Whether you are the owner of a fortune 500 firm or a start-up enterprise, it is time for you to adopt this practice as well in a bid to witness an increase in sales, profits and expansion of business.
