THE BEAN RESTAURANT GROUP
The Bean Restaurant group has sixteen successful restaurant brands, from high-end German and American cuisine to sushi and hamburgers. Besides great service and excellent food, they all have one thing in common—XLERATOR Hand Dryers in the restrooms.
HOSPITALITY AND HYGIENE
“In this industry, hospitality is the benchmark of what we do,” says Andy Yee, Principal Managing Partner of the Bean Restaurant Group. “The restrooms are a high priority. Job number one.”
The XLERATOR Hand Dryer is a completely touchless solution that creates a more hygienic restroom environment and eliminates the constant maintenance and clean-up associated with paper towels.
For increased hand hygiene and customer safety, the XLERATOR is available with a HEPA Filtration System proven to remove 99.999% of viruses1 and 99.97% of potentially present bacteria at 0.3 microns2 from the airstream.
“Restrooms are very important because it reflects onto the ownership and employees,” says Andy Yee. “And it really reflects on the kitchen. We’ve all seen restaurant restrooms that are a little dicey and you think,
‘They’re not doing their job.’”
CUSTOM COVERS FOR BRANDING AND MESSAGING
XLERATOR Hand Dryers are available with custom covers that are an excellent way to drive home your brand and communicate with your guests.
“I’m a huge branding guy,” Andy Yee says. “Bringing the product and name to the consumer’s eye on a constant basis, whether it be on a bag, takeout container or an XLERATOR Hand Dryer, is very important to me. The custom covers are a great partnership between Excel Dryer and all of our brands.”
During COVID-19, the Bean Group also utilized Excel Dryer’s custom covers and signage to promote messaging about the importance of proper hand hygiene.
THE DOLLAR MENU
In addition to more hygienic restrooms and an improved guest experience, the XLERATOR Hand Dryers provide the Bean Restaurant Group with a 95% cost savings over paper towels—completely eliminating their labor, maintenance and waste. This savings allows them to focus more time and resources on the dining room and the kitchen.
“When you’re running 16 operations, paper towels are a big line item,” says Andy Yee. “It’s significant. In my world, it’s a no-brainer to bring XLERATOR Hand Dryers into your facilities.”
