Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a popular fish & chip shop in Whitby, was struggling with paper dockets piling up and getting lost near the fryer during their busy tourist season. They needed a simple, heat-resistant, and sturdy solution to keep orders in sequence.
"It's such a simple bit of kit, but it’s made our counter so much tidier and more efficient. No more lost dockets or arguments about which order came in first. It just works."
Robert Miller – Owner, The Salty Squid
Since introducing the Beaumont spindles, they've seen a noticeable improvement in order accuracy and a faster workflow, reducing mix-ups during peak hours significantly.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack the spindle from its box and remove any protective plastic.
- Place it on a flat, stable, and level surface like a countertop or service pass.
- Make sure the black protective cap is securely on the tip when not in immediate use.
- Position it within easy reach of your till or order station for maximum efficiency.
Keeping It Going
- To clean, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth. A little washing-up liquid is fine for greasy marks.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the chrome finish.
- Empty the spindle regularly to prevent it from becoming overfilled and top-heavy.
- Routinely check that the base is clean and free from debris to ensure it sits flat.
