Warewashing is an essential but costly operation in foodservice establishments. The key components of these costs include:
Labor is the largest warewashing expense, comprising 53% of total operational costs.
Le Chef Bakery installed an 85GAL Decarbonator®, freeing up two employees and saving over $42,000 annually in labor costs.
Water costs make up 23% of warewashing operational costs, with utilities contributing an additional 18%.
Decarbonator® energy costs are $1.57/day and maintain water at 185°F for continuous sanitization.
Chemical expenses, including detergents, sanitizers, and rinse aids, make up 9% of warewashing costs.
Water costs make up 23% of warewashing operational costs, with utilities contributing an additional 18%.
Decarbonator® energy costs are $1.57/day and maintain water at 185°F for continuous sanitization.
Frequent scrubbing in a 3-Compartment Sink or Dishwasher leads to wear and tear on pans and utensils, increasing replacement costs. The Decarbonator® eliminates excessive scrubbing, preserving cookware.
Improper sanitization can lead to foodborne illness outbreaks, costing businesses an average of $75,000 per incident. The Decarbonator® maintains a constant 185°F temperature, ensuring full sanitization and compliance with health codes.
Switching to a Decarbonator® reduces labor, water, chemical, and utility costs, potentially saving between $18,000 and $39,840 per year. For foodservice operators looking to streamline operations and maximize profitability, the Decarbonator® is a game-changer.
