One fell swoop: Reduce food expenses, overhead, and labor costs with Pangards®
On the forefront of any operator’s mind these first months of 2025 have been two main issues: labor and sales. Reducing costs while retaining labor and maintaining quality of product and service is undoubtedly a challenge. The magic formula lies in three key areas: food, overhead costs, and labor. Handgards® has a multi-faceted solution that helps with all three areas, lowering the cost of food by reducing waste, reducing directly controllable expenses such as supplies, and optimizing your labor spend: Pangards®. Made in the USA durable nylon liners, fully FDA compliant, will help combat rising operating costs.
Reducing Food Expenses
As a controllable expense, food costs are usually the second highest for most restaurants. Reduction of this cost via lessening of waste is always the goal. By using Pangards, food preparation occurs in the same receptacle that can be used for food storage. By not transferring from dish to dish, which results in waste of food stuck to the pan, automatically savings accrue as less product is wasted.
Reducing Overhead
Overhead costs, both fixed and variable, contribute to the profitability of any endeavor and must be budgeted carefully. With the use of Pangards, the lifespan of pans is elongated because they are protected from the wear and tear of constant scrubbing. Less scrubbing and baked-on mess results in less nicks and scratches: thus, the investment in each pan will last for longer – reducing overhead costs. Not to mention the energy savings by that dishwasher less – many times sanitization suffices after the use of Pangards.
Reducing Labor Costs
Save time and money in labor: with less time spent scrubbing, employees stress and fatigue levels can lower, which also can lead to higher employee retention. Every minute saved of washing, transferring food preparations, and food storage adds up – use Pangards® to cook, serve and store food in the back-of-house.
