In the bustling world of hospitality where every ingredient and decision counts, sustainability has long emerged as a key ingredient for success. Among the myriad of considerations, cooking oil stands out as a factor not only for environmental responsibility but also for enhancing the bottom line of businesses.
The journey towards better sustainable practices begins with understanding the impact of cooking oil on the environment and your bottom line.
Historically, cooking oils have been disposed of in general waste or drains, contaminating landfills and waterways. Unknowingly, venues often incorrectly dispose of used oil – not at any fault of their own. Similarly, improper oil selection can shorten the lifespan, increase the frequency of oil changes, and lead to product waste. All the while, risking staff injury due to handling and transferring hot oil.
Cookers oil management system offers a smarter way of managing cooking oil with tangible benefits for venues’ operational efficiency and safety.
For instance, storage units that house cooking oil completely replace the need for disposable packaging, significantly reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. While oils engineered for frying provide greater stability at high temperatures, resulting in longer fry life and reduced oil usage. These efficiencies result in cost savings, contributing to the financial health and resilience of establishments.
Adopting a sustainable bulk solution also limits the risks of employee injury. Cookers system eliminates the need to lift and carry heavy or hot oil. A smart system means oil can be moved between fryers simply by pumping the fresh oil into a fryer through a dedicated food-grade hose. Another benefit is the ease of used oil collection, providing venues with the knowledge that their used oil is properly handled and ethically recycled, improving daily operations. Safer practices go hand-in-hand with sustainability, resulting in the health and longevity of staff.
By embracing sustainable practices, businesses can align themselves with eco-conscious consumers, attracting a growing segment of environmentally aware diners, while doing their part for the environment. Cooking oil can form an imperative piece of the sustainability puzzle for long-term hospitality success.
