Foodservice film, plastic wrap, cling wrap — whatever you call it, it’s both an ally and enemy for caterers, restaurant, hotel and kitchen staff everywhere. While it might be an essential protection tool to prevent bacteria from reaching food and maintaining cleanliness, it’s flimsy, hard to handle and inconvenient to use. Not to mention the environmental impact of single-use plastic.
Thankfully, there is an easy alternative to cling wrap and heavy washable cloth covers — Pac Food’s recyclable trolley covers.
Disposable covers help prevent contamination of food, utensils, or other items placed on the trolley racks. They provide a barrier against dust, dirt, and airborne particles. Since they are disposable, there’s no need to wash or sanitise them, and the risk of cross-contamination between different areas or raw and cooked foods becomes less. After use, they can be easily discarded, saving time and effort on cleaning.
Read on to find out how protecting food during service with our recyclable, disposable trolley covers can maintain hygiene and improve efficiency for the hospitality industry.
Improve Hygiene and Prevent Contamination
The hospitality sector sets strict hygiene standards that food service professionals need to abide by. In catering or commercial kitchen settings, food safety regulations often require the use of covers to ensure that food is protected from exposure to contaminants. Disposable covers help meet these safety standards. From room service in hotels to dining rooms in aged care facilities, it is crucial to protect customers and residents from contamination and bacteria while maintaining food quality.
Using Pac Food’s trolley covers in your business ensures compliance with health regulations and maintenance of high-quality sanitary standards. They are simple to use, as they are clear, so you can see through to the other side and not bump your trolley into anything.
A Practical Way to Improve Productivity
Our recyclable trolley covers are not as labour-intensive as the use of plastic film, which can take staff a considerable amount of time to apply and remove. Speed and time savings in hospitality settings such as restaurants and cafés are crucial for customer satisfaction and our easy-to-use, easy-to-clean trolley covers are a practical time-saving solution.
Our recyclable trolley covers also save staff from lifting heavy cloth covers and remove the need for frequent washing.
Protect Food, Linen Trolleys and Cleaning Supplies
Our trolley covers do more than protect food trolleys. Their functionality and versatility allow them to be used over a range of carts to keep products and equipment clean and prevent accidental spills from contaminating busy spaces.
Using them over a linen cart or other trolley-transported items such as cutlery, crockery or glasses reduces the risk of liquid spills or dust contamination during both transit and storage.
Helping Businesses Save Money and Improve Efficiency
Our trolley covers are strong! They are made of 30 microns of plastic, making them tough, durable, reusable and easy to clean.
Along with operational savings, they can also bring down your business labour costs thanks to ease of use. Simply place the trolley under Pac Food’s wall brackets, open the cover and slide it over.
The trolley cover’s clear, low-density plastic appearance allows food service staff, customers and diners to see the food whilst it remains protected from contamination. This visibility also improves workplace health and safety and reduces the likelihood of accidents.
Better for Your Business and the Environment
We understand the importance of covering trolleys and meeting safety standards, but we also want to offer an alternative to single-use plastic that is kinder to the environment.
Sustainability is a crucial factor in all of Pac Food’s designs. This is why we introduced a range of compostable food packaging solutions.
