“Lockdown was a very challenging time for everyone, but I think it gave us a chance to really look at our operation; look at what we’ve done, and evaluate where we wanted to go. One of the priorities when we reopened was making Aqua premises covid-secure in order to protect both our customers and staff. As part of our research on the best way to do this, we came across the HyGenikx air and surface sanitization system from Mechline which eradicates viruses and bacteria including Coronaviruses, whilst also controlling odors and prolonging the shelf life of fresh produce. The system in many ways appeared too good to be true as it also works 24/7 and we urgently installed HyGenikx units both front and back of house, starting off with the kitchen and toilet spaces, before moving on to install them in the main restaurant area, which has had a great benefit for us.”
“We have the HyGenikx stickers up to ensure that our customers know we are working hard to ensure our environments are safe. In the world we are living in now, the role of the HyGenikx units has never been more important as it is helping to keep everyone safe from viruses and bacteria, so customers can feel comfortable and safe in these surroundings.”
“We reviewed all other technologies as you do when looking to install a new system, but found fogging options were messy and didn’t suit our operation. The HyGenikx system sits quietly on the wall, is easy to install and for us, is perfect for our style of operation.”
“I would thoroughly recommend HyGenikx units to other hospitality industries throughout the country, as we’ve seen first-hand the benefits of using HyGenikx since day one – from nullifying odors, to extending the lifespan of produce and ultimately for the reassurance of the guests – it’s such a great benefit for us.”
Ben Smithson, Operations Director for Aqua Restaurants
“The HyGenikx units were installed in our cold rooms and raw foods kitchen as well as our staff toilet to clean the atmosphere, reduce odors and keep an environment that is pure and free of bacteria and viruses. We have three cold rooms and had a HyGenikx unit in each. Before we closed the doors back in March, all the cold rooms were emptied and switched off. When I came back in June, I noticed that the door of one of these cold rooms had accidentally been shut. In normal circumstances this would have meant returning to a dank, stinking and fungus filled environment. However, when I opened the door fearing the worst, it was in a perfect condition – HyGenikx had been on throughout lockdown and has done a fantastic job, which has saved us time and meant that no damage has been done.”
“HyGenikx has proven what it can do for us – keeping the air and surfaces clean, pure and fresh, controlling odors and providing extra reassurance for customers so they can relax and enjoy their meal knowing that we are leaving nothing to chance to make our restaurant Covid-secure. It is also noticeable that the fruit and vegetables in our cold room are staying fresher for longer thanks to the HyGenikx unit, which is great as we are committed to minimizing food waste in our operation.”
“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend HyGenikx to other foodservice or hospitality businesses as it is the ideal complement to manual cleaning. It helps to protect customers and staff, extends the shelf life of fresh produce and provides additional reassurance so our industry can move forward with confidence and return to some kind of normal.”
