How Plato Catering Hire Ensures Spotless Hygienic ‘Event Ready’ Catering Equipment Hire Every Time
If you keep an eye on the news, you’ll likely have heard about the recent E.coli outbreak. Sadly, it has led to a death as well as over 100 people being hospitalised. This tragic event shows exactly why it is so important to ensure that catering equipment is properly cleaned before use and the consequences of failing to do so.
At Plato Catering Hire, we understand just how vital it is to ensure the safety and well-being of your guests. That’s why we go above and beyond to make sure every item we provide is thoroughly cleaned and sanitised before it reaches you. Here’s how we do it.
Why cleanliness is our top priority
Think about the journey of a single plate, knife, or fork. When hired from a catering equipment company, these items have been used at numerous events and therefore have been used by potentially thousands of people. This high turnover requires a much higher level of commitment to hygiene to prevent the spread of bacteria and other pathogens – That’s why maintaining impeccable hygiene is our top priority. Our cleaning processes are designed to ensure that every piece of equipment we deliver is safe and ready to use.
The latest in cleaning technology
We use Winterhalter and Meiko industrial dishwashers, known for their excellent cleaning and sanitisation capabilities. These machines are designed to thoroughly remove food residues and kill bacteria. They have powerful wash cycles, high-temperature sanitisation, and quick turnaround times so dishes are spotless and ready for use in no time.
Hand-finished and inspected
Whilst machines are great, we firmly believe that you just can’t beat the human touch. This is why after machine washing, our team carefully hand-finishes each item. This involves polishing glasses to remove any water spots and inspecting cutlery for marks and chips. This ensures that every item not only looks pristine but is also free from any damage that could compromise its cleanliness or usability.
Regular maintenance and monitoring
It’s not just the equipment we hire out that we keep in perfect condition! To keep our cleaning equipment working at their best, we regularly have our dishwashers, water softeners, and reverse osmosis water filters checked and serviced by qualified engineers. Getting them regularly maintained makes sure that all machines perform correctly and are able to achieve the highest standards for hygiene, water treatment, and chemical use.
Consistent temperature checks
Effective sanitisation means keeping the correct wash and rinse cycle temperatures. Our dishwashers are continually monitored to make sure they meet industry-standard temperatures, ensuring that every cycle is as effective as possible in eliminating harmful bacteria.
Quality assurance
We believe that anything requiring additional polishing upon delivery wastes valuable time for your catering team. By ensuring every item is ready for immediate use, we save you time and effort, allowing you to focus on creating memorable experiences for your guests. Our commitment to quality means that every glass is individually polished, and every piece of cutlery is precisely counted and packed, ensuring 100% accuracy in every order.
