St. Patrick’s Day is one of the busiest days for the hospitality sector, with restaurants, pubs, hotels, and event venues experiencing an influx of customers. Increased kitchen activity, high-volume food preparation, and heavy footfall in both dining and restroom areas can put added strain on grease traps, drainage systems, and wastewater management. Preparation is essential to keep your business running smoothly and avoid disruptions during this high-demand event.
Potential Challenges During St. Patrick’s Day:
🍀 Overloaded Grease Traps – High-demand cooking in restaurants, pubs, and hotels leads to a buildup of grease, increasing the risk of overflow and non-compliance.
🍀 Blocked Kitchen & Restroom Drains from Food & Waste – Pubs, hotels, and restaurants generate large amounts of food debris, fats, and oils that can clog kitchen drains, while increased restroom use can strain waste systems.
🍀 Unpleasant Odors in Kitchens, Bars & Dining Areas – A full grease trap or slow drainage can result in strong odours that negatively impact the guest experience.
🍀 High-Use Wastewater Systems – Increased restroom and kitchen use, particularly in pubs and high-traffic venues, can place additional strain on wastewater management, requiring proactive maintenance.
Essential Steps to Prevent Issues:
- Pre-Holiday Grease Trap Service – Prevent overflow and ensure compliance with a scheduled grease trap cleaning.
- Drain Jetting & Maintenance – High-pressure jetting keeps drains free from food, grease, and debris buildup.
- Wastewater System Checks – Ensure your wastewater system is in top condition to handle the increased capacity.
- Restroom Drain Maintenance for High-Traffic Areas – Ensure restrooms in pubs, hotels, and restaurants are equipped to handle the surge in guests.
- Emergency Readiness Plan – Have a trusted partner like McBreen Environmental available for quick response in case of unexpected issues.
