Restaurants and food service operators are part of a fast-paced and demanding industry that generates hundreds of billions of dollars each year and have employment numbers that rank among the largest of any industry. Long hours and staffing issues provide a full menu of things to worry about. Whether you are an independent operator or a leading chain, the challenge is to keep the business running efficiently and profitably.
Kitchens are the cornerstone of any food service operation and when they’re running smoothly, everything else runs smoothly. Achieving this is no simple task, considering busy cook and fry lines, prep areas, and dishwashing areas are subjected to conditions that can cause floors to fail, leading to business interruptions. Floors face elevated temperatures, grease, oils, water, and foodstuffs that create a slip and fall risk, a leading cause of worker compensation claims. That same mix of residual foodstuffs, grease, oil, and moisture creates a breeding ground for the most common bacteria found in food service – pseudomonas aeruginosa. Aside from the obvious risk of infection, this bacteria produces organic acids that attack lesser floors and can cause them to fail.
G&G Resinous Flooring understands these challenges as well as the need for seating areas that create an atmosphere that connects your customers with your theme. That’s why we offer a wide variety of flooring colors and textures. Floors need to be attractive and complement design while standing up to high traffic. Stain resistance is a must to keep those inevitable spills from becoming ugly stains on the floor.
For chain operators, flooring that can be installed quickly and consistently is critical to meet your construction schedules and your planned openings for the year. With products that can be installed overnight and our ability to install floors over 5-7 day old concrete, you’ll be sure to keep a new location’s opening day as planned.
Kitchens are busy providing hundreds of meals daily. You need a floor system that can meet the needs of this fast-paced environment while preventing slips and falls. High temperatures around fryers along with grease and oil not only make floors slick, but it is also the critical ingredient that leads to flooring failures. Bacteria that form and are often found in grout lines produce acids that will break down grout and cause tiles to pop out, creating trip hazards and potential citations from health and safety officials. Dur-A-FlexⓇ seamless floors eliminate this common problem and can be installed overnight and, in many cases, avoid downtime. Incorporate an integral cove for a completely seamless solution that will remain both attractive and easy to clean for years.
Thanks to innovations in the resinous flooring industry, you can now select floors that offer the style and good looks consistent with your theme and décor without making sacrifices on performance. In dining and seating areas, floors need to resist staining from spills that happen day to day while holding up to all of the wear and tear customers bring through the doors. Slip-resistant and easy to maintain, Dur-A-FlexⓇ seamless floors are the right choice for front-of-house restaurant operations.
The constant hustle and bustle of customers and bar staff in tight quarters make slip resistance flooring a must-have in bar areas, where steam and water prevail. And because the bar area is visible to customers, floors need to look good while being resistant to staining from spills. They should also be quick and easy for your staff to clean. G&G Resinous Flooring installs floors that meet every one of your needs.
Dur-A-FlexⓇ floors offer a durable, slip-resistant surface that can easily handle water. The seamless feature eliminates the maintenance of dirty tile and grout while providing a completely waterproof surface. Create attractive designs using single or multiple colors and blends in quartz or vinyl chips.
Freezers and coolers present a unique challenge. Besides needing to be easy to clean and sanitize, they require a floor that can be installed at lower temperatures to minimize downtime or to prevent the risk of products spoiling. G&G Resinous Flooring can quickly install a hard-working floor for your restaurant freezer or cooler.
