The P&G Professional survey found a vast majority of
Americans feel comfortable ordering takeout (91%), dining outdoors
(83%), and even indoors at a restaurant (77%). This comfort,
however, comes with high expectations of cleanliness.
The importance of restaurant cleanliness is emphasized,
regardless of how and where Americans enjoy meals. Most Americans
express how important it is for them to see a visible clean whether
dining indoors (93%), outdoors (92%), or when ordering takeout
(92%).
Additionally, four out of five (82%) say they lose their
appetite when they see grease or dirt at a restaurant, making it
critical for restaurants to arm themselves with the tools they need
to keep kitchen and dining room surfaces visibly clean.
Transparency also remains a top priority, with 70% of Americans
yearning for restaurants to be more open about the cleaning
products they use.
“P&G Professional is committed to providing restaurants and
commercial kitchens with the products they need to keep their
kitchens and dining rooms open and thriving,” said Paul Edmondson,
North America Vice President, P&G Professional. “In continued
support of small businesses, we wanted to get a pulse on where
Americans stood on dining out and what could help drive more diners
into restaurants. With transparency of products and a visible clean
being as important as ever, our best-in-class products are a
valuable solution, ensuring not only diner comfort, but helping
restaurant owners and staff clean quickly and efficiently.”
P&G Professional is proud to provide restaurants, nearly
150,0002 of which are small businesses, with the supplies they need
to keep their commercial kitchens clean and customers comfortable.
