Cleanliness is very important – the catering and hotel industries rely on the Hygiene-Stern
Gastronomy and the hotel industry rely on hygiene stars
Frankfurt/Bad Soden, June 16, 2021. "Our online course "Hygiene Nests" is receiving a huge response," says Marcell Engel, crime scene cleaner, disinfector and managing director of the Frankfurt company Akut SOS Clean GmbH. Even before the pandemic, the call for a certificate for hygiene and cleanliness had been loud from many industries and so the specialists developed the sophisticated course. Base Fahim, franchise partner of three branches of Fresh Food "Immergrün" in Hesse is pleased: "This concept has come at just the right time for us. Of course “We always attach great importance to cleanliness and ensure that everything is freshly prepared in front of the customers. But we notice that the hygiene star makes our guests feel even safer and more comfortable.”
This is also confirmed by Norman Pohl, event creator, owner and CEO of the lifestyle gastronomy company Skyline19: “We were one of the first companies to take advantage of this opportunity for special training and have received recognition from all sides for it.” The professional course is designed for many industries and many companies in the areas with public traffic and customer contact are currently benefiting. Although cleanliness and thoroughness are the be-all and end-all for the professionals, they are still of the same opinion that the training and the associated certification ensure an increased feeling of security. The approximately two-hour video seminar imparts compact knowledge based on the latest scientific findings - everything can be implemented practically and easily.
“In the course we focus on what is really important for business people with a lot of direct contact,” explains Marcell Engel. Example: The so-called “touch surfaces” such as door handles or reception desks are often touched by many people. There are several ways to keep these areas as germ-free as possible. Specially developed checklists - completed in no time at all - provide instructions for proper cleaning and disinfection. These are simple instructions for action that ultimately have a great effect.
"The ongoing demand and numerous bookings for the online training confirm that we are on the right track. The certificate that documents successful participation is extremely well received," says Marcell Engel. And entrepreneurs like Base Fahim and Norman Pohl know that their guests perceive the attention-grabbing seal positively as a guarantee of the highest hygiene standards. "It makes the greatest possible safety visible to customers. What I also find important - the "Hygienic Nests" certificate is a brilliant opportunity to set yourself apart from your competitors," Marcell Engel concludes.
