Stock outs, particularly paper and soap stock outs, are a common issue for commercial restrooms, especially during high traffic periods. There are many reasons why every business would like to avoid them. Ensuring restrooms are fully stocked can help reduce the complaints you receive.
Unfortunately, you can’t have someone attending to every restroom 24/7.
In this video, we’ll discuss the best way to prevent running out of paper and soap products in high traffic restrooms, as well as additional tools and options that can help.
High capacity dispensers significantly increase the amount of product that is available for use in your restrooms by increasing the amount of product that each dispenser can hold. For example, some high-capacity paper towel dispensers can hold 250% more paper towels than a standard dispenser. By increasing the amount of product available in your restrooms, you can reduce the number of times your staff has to return to the restroom to fill dispensers. This allows them to pursue other high value cleaning and disinfecting tasks. High-capacity paper towel dispensers can hold larger paper towel rolls. For example, a standard roll may be 600 feet of paper towel while the high-capacity roll is 1,150 feet of paper towel.
There are two different designs for high-capacity toilet paper dispensers: one that holds more rolls and one that holds larger rolls.
You can double your toilet paper capacity by switching to a dispenser that holds more rolls. For example, the standard Victoria Bay toilet paper dispenser holds two rolls, and the high-capacity dispenser holds four rolls.
The other version of the high-capacity toilet paper dispenser holds larger rolls. For example, a standard roll may have 750 sheets per roll while the high-capacity roll has 1125 sheets per roll.
Sometimes, a high-capacity toilet paper dispenser can hold as much as 6 times more paper than a standard dispenser. The significant increase in product available helps prevent toilet paper run-out and can reduce complaints about your restroom.
By installing high-capacity dispensers for your paper towels, toilet paper, and soap and sanitizer dispensers, you can significantly increase the amount of available product in your restrooms with very little effort.
In some cases, you may also have little to no upfront cost to the dispensers.
While installing high-capacity dispensers is the best way to prevent stock-outs, it’s not the only option available to you. There are other tools and resources that can help.
Some dispensers can track the level of product that has been used digitally. Generally connected to an app on your smartphone desktop computer, these dispensers can alert you when a dispenser is low on product so you can refill it before it runs out.
While this is a great feature, it may come with additional considerations. First, there may be additional costs involved. Some of the apps require a subscription fee to operate. Providing your staff with smartphones or other equipment that can communicate with the dispensers may also be an increased cost.
There may also be additional training for your staff to properly utilize the smart features with the dispensers. For example, they may need to scan products into use when replacing items.
Another way to help prevent stock-outs is to ensure that your cleaning schedule accounts for your facility’s traffic patterns. Traffic patterns will vary depending on your facility and your schedule should account for that. Typically, high traffic times happen consistently in each facility. For example, office buildings will see more traffic around lunch time than they will after 7pm. By taking these traffic patterns into account when planning cleaning schedules, you can ensure that facilities have been restocked prior to high usage times.
No one wants to experience a stock-out in the restroom, and there are a variety of ways to help prevent them from happening.
