Operators must reduce costs and energy usage across their equipment portfolios. Everyone wants to be more efficient and sustainable. And everyone wants sparkling glassware!
When it comes to warewashing, the critical feature to look out for is a partner to rely on throughout the dishwashing machine's lifetime.
The relationship between operator and dishwashing supplier starts with futureproofing, evaluating the existing estate to identify hot spots where machines need replacing because they are simply unhygienic, too old, unreliable, or too wasteful.
Discussion over the choice of replacement machine matches the right product solution to the operator's needs. We can test the machine's capabilities and show you comparative sites.
Cutting energy, cutting costs: Every bit of kit will use energy, water, and chemicals, but how much depends on how much you invest in the equipment and, just as importantly, how your staff use or abuse it. The latest dishwashing technologies create savings and cut labour, but it is how the caterer's staff use the machine that has the biggest sustainable impact.
The depth of our product offer means we can tune the dishwashing technology to meet the needs of the business, be it back-of-house or customer-facing. But just because you buy an economical dishwasher does not mean it remains economical over its working life. The key to a lifetime of dishwashing economy and efficiency is training support combined with planned maintenance.
Meiko’s policy is to provide training support for the lifetime of your Meiko dishwashing machine. The staff operating the dishwashers must have training available at any time after they join the kitchen so that none of that precious energy, water, and chemicals is wasted. That ensures that your Meiko dishwasher performs as efficiently in years three, five, or seven as it did in year one.
Service and maintenance are another major sustainable influencer. Good maintenance practice keeps equipment going for longer, which is why Meiko occasionally maintains other makes of machines in addition to our own.
Service must not be reactive; it has to be proactive, with PPMs, estate management, extended warranties, and fixed prices that give the customer complete transparency.
Dishwashing is an integral part of the kitchen, and operators should rely on a dishwashing partner for frank advice. Meiko's maintenance and breakdown support packages provide clear and transparent value, allowing operators to set budgets without unexpected costs.
Our first-time fix rate is 94%, and we typically deliver this within eight working hours. Meiko engineers only fix dishwashing equipment; our vans are stocked with the top 350 parts needed. We run a person-to-person helpdesk open every day to provide one-to-one support for kitchen staff and managers.
By providing extended warranties, proactive planned maintenance, and even support for different machine makes, Meiko maximises efficiency in delivering service and maintenance for dishwashing equipment, saving costs and road miles and cutting carbon footprint.
