Back-of-house waste challenges in hospitality

From cardboard packaging to plastic wrap and general black bag waste – waste builds up fast in restaurants, hotels, and cafés. When bins overflow and back-of-house areas get cluttered, it doesn’t just look bad, it costs time, space, and money.

As waste piles up, operations start to suffer, and customer impressions go downhill fast.

Smarter waste handling for hotels, cafés and restaurants

When waste routines are built into prep, service, and cleanup, everything runs smoother. Staff know where waste goes, equipment is where it’s needed, and clutter doesn’t pile up. The result? Faster service, safer spaces, and a more professional look – front and back of house.

XP200S – a hygienic waste solution!

The XP200S is a hygienic waste solution built for busy industrial kitchens. Made from stainless steel and powered by air, it’s safe to place in food prep areas—no oil, no contamination. Wet waste in bags goes straight into the barrel, locking in odors and liquids to maintain cleanliness and dramatically reduce the risk of pests.
