On the eve of hospitality reopening across England tomorrow we have selected a choice of products and services that will help operators move forward more safely and more profitably.
The first hurdle for hospitality and catering has been crossed with being allowed to reopen and trade again.
The second – which will need to be achieved in the days, weeks and months ahead- is building consumer confidence.
Customers need to feel assured that every possible step has been taken to ensure their safety at your venue.
A warm safe welcome
Presenting a safe and professional face to hospitality
The new face of hospitality will be wearing a face mask: Customers will want to see that hospitality providers are taking every precaution to ensure their safety. Rather than using disposable face masks that make wearers look like they just emerged from an A&E department, stylish safe masks that are washable are less expensive and reflect a professional image. They are also far more comfortable to wear.
They can be be created to reflect your hospitality business brand. More Information

Safe passage of revenue
Re-inventing bar and table service safely
Safely collecting or delivering multiple drinks minimises personal contact and maximises the flow of custom, meaning you can serve more customers and generate more revenue.
The use of apps for ordering drinks is being encouraged as it reduces contact with staff, but the problem of safely collecting or delivering multiple drinks remains.
The PortaBrands range from Tri-Star Packaging is the solution, enabling the easy and safe carrying of multiple hot or cold beverages while speeding up service, saving space, and converting more sales with fewer trips to and from the bar. More information
