Keeping Restrooms Fresh Since Forever Ago
Keeping restrooms up to date at all locations is an ongoing problem for companies with hundreds of stores.
Today, it’s crucial to keep restrooms clean and updated for customers to feel safe and comfortable. So, what’s the best way to get restrooms remodeled consistently and across a wide region? And, what's an example of a company that has its bathroom remodeling system on point?
The Grand Importance Of Restroom Remodels
Many restrooms in retail and restaurant establishments are neglected. This causes customers to feel less important and that cleanliness and hygiene are not important to the company.
This problem is compounded for large multi-site retailers as they have numerous restrooms to keep track of.
Restroom remodels are important to get right as they are a customer-facing remodel project. When done right, a restroom remodel can show customers that their experience in the store or restaurant is important.
Today, it is more important than ever to ensure restrooms are clean and that customers feel safe and comfortable. This starts with implementing an effective restroom remodel program.
Restrooms Remodeled Differently
What is the best way to remodel a lot of restrooms really fast and consistently? We have years of experience perfecting our restroom remodel programs. And honestly, the solutions are quite simple.
Here’s what we have come to know:
The first problem companies have is they don’t want a remodel of something as minuscule as a restroom to impact their customers.
There are two main situations we face when remodeling restrooms to avoid impacting customers.
Providing alternative restrooms during a full shutdown of restrooms during a remodel. For this situation, we have great resources for renting temporary restroom facilities and we have a stable of our OWN restroom trailers that get used throughout the year on numerous remodel programs.
Keep restrooms open during a remodel. For this option, we have teams that are used to working through the night and remodel one restroom at a time so there is always a restroom available for customers (and employees) no matter the stage of the project.
These two options allow restrooms to be remodeled at any time throughout the year with limited impact on business and clients. So, if your customers are being impacted by restrooms not being available because of remodels, there are simple solutions that can solve this problem.
The next challenge is that many large companies need to continue rolling out restroom remodels nationwide. The amount of organization and logistics needed to be successful can be overwhelming to them. The solution here, believe it or not, is software (really good software).
You need tracking software that can easily keep track of which stores are scheduled to get their restrooms remodeled.
Our proprietary software, ApexView is able to track all your stores and include up-to-date 3D renders of each of your stores so you can hand off restroom remodels to a contractor or total solution provider from your desk.
Rollouts become simpler when they are meticulously organized and planned for. ApexView is built for large-multi site retailers to utilize for rollout programs; restroom remodels and all.
HEB Restrooms Are Looking Fresher Than Febreze
To see these restroom remodel solutions played out we have to look at a specific project.
Take HEB, they needed restroom remodels done quickly across numerous stores.
We mobilized our Apex Remodel Teams to numerous stores. Utilizing our software, we were able to plan each store's restroom remodel meticulously to deliver amazing refreshed restrooms while keeping the impact on the stores’ customers minimal.
Each store received new plumbing fixtures, partitions, doors, lights, and tile. Depending on the number of restrooms at each store the projects took between 2 and 4 weeks to complete.
To keep customers happy, Apex was able to provide their own personal Restroom Trailers for temporary use while the restrooms were shut down.
Now, HEB has restrooms that are fresh, and a plan for keeping them fresh and up to date consistently. HEB’s customers won’t notice ALL the work that was done, but they will begin to realize their experience in the store matters to HEB and that HEB’s restrooms are always kept to a certain standard. A certain gold standard in our opinion.
With a plan, helpful software, and an army of remodel teams, it's easy for companies to keep restrooms up to date at all their locations even when they have hundreds of stores. Apex is able to remodel and rollout restrooms for our clients consistently all the while keeping our client’s customers happy.
