Vapiano sets platinum standards

By James Russell: Vapiano sets platinum standards

October 24, 2013

Toilets at Vapiano, Great Portland Street, London

It’s well known that the quality and cleanliness of toilets are considered important by customers, and Italian fresh casual dining restaurant Vapiano has convincingly demonstrated its commitment to this aspect of its business by winning acclaim for the quality and standards of its toilets – in the Loo of the Year Awards 2013.

Platinum ratings

Both of its London restaurants (Bankside and Great Portland Street) have been awarded a platinum rating by inspectors – the highest award possible.

The platinum rating is given only to outlets which offer ‘exceptional toilets.’

The Awards

The awards are aimed at highlighting and improving standards of ‘away from home’ toilet provision across the UK.

Authorised inspectors make unannounced visits to hundreds of toilets at sites across the UK in order to judge them.

Vapiano UK managing director, Phil Sermon, said: “I am delighted that the excellent toilets at both our restaurants have been recognised by the inspectors with the highest rating possible.”

The Loo of the Year Awards 2013 managing director, Mike Bone, added: “Vapiano’s toilets are outstanding, in terms of design and cleanliness.

“Both restaurants thoroughly deserve their awards.”
