In the hospitality industry, sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity. As businesses strive to reduce their environmental footprint and decrease unnecessary spending, every aspect of operations comes under scrutiny, including warewashing. Cambro Camracks® revolutionize how hospitality businesses like caterers and hotels handle dishwashing while significantly contributing to sustainability efforts.
1. Water Conservation
Water is a precious resource, and reducing its consumption is a primary goal for any business aiming to be more sustainable. Camracks were created to eliminate the need for re-washing. If you work in events, you know that typical glass racks are open-walled. There are a few problems with this design:
- When stored for even a few days, glasses can become dusty.
- Employees commonly wriggle their fingers into the holes to get a better grip, touching the glasses inside.
In both scenarios, glasses must be re-washed, wasting valuable water and time. When Camracks are used with a Camdolly® and Cover, you have a completely enclosed, sanitary storage cabinet full of glasses ready to use. By reducing water consumption, businesses can lower their utility bills, make a positive impact on the environment and spend their time more usefully.
BONUS: If your hotel is working on earning green certifications like LEED, proving water efficiency is essential. Implementing Cambro Camracks can help support businesses that are trying to meet the stringent criteria for these certifications.
2. Less Broken Glass
Waste management is a significant concern in the hospitality industry. Glassware can be extremely expensive and reducing the risk of breakage is a major priority. Camracks’ sturdy construction and design ensure that glassware is protected during washing and handling, reducing the likelihood of broken glasses being thrown in the trash.
Rancho Valencia in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., has an extensive glassware collection, many of which are made from crystal, which means they’re not only expensive, but they’re also fragile.
“The Camracks just make total sense. They’re a great, very sturdy product that allows us to be able to store our glassware with minimal breakage,” said Simon Harris, Director of Food and Beverage at Rancho Valencia.
3. Inventory at a Glance
Efficiency and sustainability go hand in hand. If you have hundreds or thousands of glasses, organization is non-negotiable. If your business consistently uses the same glasses throughout the year, Camracks can be personalized with hot stamping. If you need a more versatile identification method, Camrack Extender ID Clips are economical and can be removed if needed; there is also the option of blank clips to write in names as needs change. This efficiency not only saves time and labor costs but also contributes to a smoother operation overall. Instead of combing through glass racks to find what they need, employees can focus more on delivering exceptional service.
Using Cambro Camracks, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility, improve their bottom line, and contribute to a greener future for all.
