Running a restaurant can be a stressful task especially since the service industry is constantly changing and evolving.  In recent years, there has been a demand for restaurants to shift towards more environmentally friendly practices.  According to a study from Purdue University, restaurant customers would be willing to spend more money on green restaurant practices.  Luckily, there are a few simple ways to making your place of business more eco-friendly.

Stay Green And Clean

One of the most important elements of any restaurant is cleanliness, especially when it comes to health code standards.  However, many industrial cleans used in the service industry contain harsh and toxic chemicals. The last thing you want is your guests smelling bleach when they sit down at one of your tables.  Fortunately, H.C. Walterhoefer offers a wide range of eco-friendly cleaning products, which are included in our “Green Works” line.

Recycling and Composting

When it comes to running an eco-friendly restaurant, you want to focus on creating a recycling and composting system.  Having a recycling system allows you to dispose of all of your paper and plastic products in a safe and environmentally friendly way.  Composting consists of all food waste being broken down into the soil after it is disposed. Advertising and displaying you’re recycling and composting systems is a great way to attract customers to your place of business.

Conserve Water

If you want to make your restaurant friendly, then you should learn how to conserve water as much as you can.  If your restaurant is constantly busy, you can waste water very easily which can lead to high energy bills. There are few ways to save water such as switching to water-saving toilets, as well as, an in-house filtration system.  You should also look into solar panels to heat water.
