You’ve built your menu, trained your staff, and created a great guest experience. But one dirty review—about a sticky table or an unclean restroom—can undo all that work.
Restaurants today are judged as much by the cleanliness of their restrooms as by the flavor of their dishes. Guests make judgments before they ever taste your food, and once those impressions go online, they can define your reputation.
According to the Jolt Restaurant Cleanliness Report1, 75% of diners say they won’t visit a restaurant with negative reviews about cleanliness. And that’s why BradyPLUS developed the Essential 8 Program, a consultative facility assessment that helps operators strengthen their brand, protect guests, and improve day-to-day performance through smarter cleaning, safer processes, and consistent results
The Essential 8 identifies and strengthens the eight critical functions every foodservice operation depends on: Receiving, Storage, Preparation, Cooking, Holding, Service, Safety, and Sanitation.
This framework helps you move from reactive cleaning to proactive protection, ensuring your team knows exactly what to do, when to do it, and which restaurant cleaning supplies deliver the best results.
Whether it’s reducing cross-contamination in prep, improving back-of-house efficiency, or creating a safer dining experience, the Essential 8 brings structure to the chaos of daily operations.
Restaurants that prioritize hygiene don’t just protect their guests; they also protect their profits. Cleaner spaces mean stronger first impressions, smoother inspections, and better staff morale.
When you get cleanliness right, everything else follows.
The bottom line: Your guests shouldn’t notice your cleaning routine. They should simply feel confident and comfortable.
With BradyPLUS and the Essential 8 program, you’ll have the framework, expertise, and tools to deliver that experience every day.
