Your bar, cafe or restaurant needs an efficient grease trap. Otherwise, you will certainly be letting all those fats, oils and grease (FOGs) enter the sewer system to create big problems. What’s more, your system requires regular cleaning and maintenance, as this will help ensure that it is always running at full efficiency and getting the job properly!
Here, we are going to list five reasons why you should never let your system go without the proper maintenance:
- It can be very expensive
You might be worrying about the grease trap cleaning cost. We get it: as business owners we would all love to cut costs wherever applicable – but this isn’t one of those applicable costs. The unfortunate fact of the matter is this: letting your system go without maintenance will almost invariably lead to clogs, damage and overflow, all of which is costly to repair and can even lead to fines.
What’s more, a rank, rotten system can also lead to business closure – the ultimate cost. Therefore, when considering the original price for system maintenance, it’s also important to consider what you risk losing if you fail to have it occasionally maintained!
- It prevents environmental hazards
A damaged or dirty Sydney water grease trap is a serious environmental hazard. And why? Because allowing your system to accumulate FOGs can just as easily allow them to enter the sewer system and, consequently, Sydney’s waterways.
If FOGs are continuously allowed to enter our waterways then they become a serious hazard for animals, ecosystems and the waterways themselves. What’s more, the health inspector doesn’t look too kindly upon a business who has knowingly allowed FOGs to enter the waterways – don’t risk it and enlist proper maintenance!
- Reduces health risks & rank odours
A rank and rotten system is a filthy, stinking health risk. Obviously, the last thing you want when you’re trying to serve up your famous bagel benedict is a rancid odour permeating directly from the kitchen. Your customers will certainly never come back, and you can also be quite sure that you will receive a good few negative Google reviews on this day, all of which is simply destructive for business.
What’s more, a rancid system, with its decaying FOGs, is a health risk to you, your staff and customers, so the last thing you would want is a visit from the health inspector because multiple people got sick while dining or working at your establishment.
- Stay compliant
Sydney’s business health and safety requirements are stringent – you already know this. Therefore, it’s important to know that maintaining a safe and clean environment for your staff and customers ensures compliance. One of the ways to ensure this is through having a safe and efficient system.
- Keep up your awesome reputation
Because absolutely nobody wants to dine in a restaurant that stinks of rotten FOGs. Trust us, as experts in the matter we have seen and smelled our fair share of the rancid matter, and we wouldn’t wish to dine at a place that wreaks of the stuff.
Having a bar, cafe or restaurant that reeks of a damaged system is a business killer in this modern era. Customers will go fooding out the door the moment they notice that, yes, it is your business that is creating that rancid odour, and not a busted sewer pipe just down the street.
Protect your business’s awesome reputation through effective grease trap cleaning and maintenance.
