- Pro: A fantastic, low-cost tool for implementing a reliable allergen control system.
- Con: It’s a standard drop-on lid, so it doesn't provide an airtight seal.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The City Sandwich Co.' in Leeds needed to speed up their lunch rush and improve their allergen handling. With a tiny prep space, clear organisation was vital, so they switched to a colour-coded system using Pujadas Polinorm lids.
"The red lids were a simple switch, but the impact was instant. My staff can grab the right container for meat fillings without a second's thought. It's cut down on errors and makes our prep line flow so much better, especially when we're slammed."
Robert Miller – Owner
The change helped reduce their average order assembly time and significantly improved confidence in their allergen handling process during peak hours.
