Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Northern Pie Co.' in Sheffield were struggling with a disorganised wash-up station, causing delays during their busy lunch service. They needed a simple way to direct staff and  stop food prep trays from being mixed with heavy-duty pans.

"It seems like such a small thing, but this sign immediately cleared up the confusion. Our kitchen porters know exactly what goes where, and  the whole area feels more professional and  less chaotic. It's a brilliant, simple fix."

Robert Jones – Kitchen Manager

After implementing the sign, they noted a significant reduction in wash-up errors and  a faster turnaround of essential cooking equipment.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Select a prominent, eye-level position directly next to or above the designated sink.
  • Thoroughly clean the surface with a degreaser to remove any grease or dirt.
  • Ensure the surface (e.g., tile, stainless steel) is completely dry before application.
  • Carefully peel off the backing paper and  press the sign firmly from the centre outwards to remove any air bubbles.

Keeping It Going

  • Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth and  a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
  • Avoid using harsh scouring pads or bleach, as this can damage the sign's surface.
  • It's designed to be fully waterproof and  withstand the daily humidity of a kitchen.
  • Periodically check the edges to ensure it remains firmly stuck down.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Kitchen Signage

Not sure what signs your kitchen needs? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right ones for a safe and  compliant setup.

Material Matters

Self-adhesive vinyl like this Vogue L843 pot wash sign is perfect for easy application on smooth indoor surfaces. For outdoor or high-impact areas, consider rigid plastic.

Visibility is Key

Look for signs with bold, high-contrast text and  universally understood symbols that can be read quickly in a steamy, fast-paced kitchen environment.

Strategic Placement

Always install signs at the point of action. A hand wash sign should be over the hand basin, and  a pot wash sign should be right by the pot wash sink.

Meet UK Regulations

Ensure your signage helps you adhere to the best practices recommended by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for demonstrating food safety controls.

Create a System

For a truly professional kitchen, use a consistent set of signs for all key areas: food prep, hand washing, waste disposal, and  cleaning stations.
