WHY FIKES FOR RESTAURANTS?
Our primary goal at Fikes is to simplify your overall vendor experience while making your restaurant look good and saving you money. How your restaurant looks, feels, and smells plays a big part in good impressions and increases repeat customers and new patron recommendations.
In the nearly 25 years we’ve been helping restaurants throughout the region, we’ve learned that they are not easy operations. There are costs of doing business that are often overlooked. These can include the use of consumable products (not food-cost related), to escalating costs associated with maintaining a restaurant.
WHY CHOOSE US
Save Time
Time is a valuable resource. Fikes helps restaurant industry professionals and food service leaders save time by:
- We Provide Services & Products All in One. We’re the only all-in-one product distributor and facility service supplier in the area. Imagine a vendor relationship that could help you with the majority of your facility maintenance needs, be it restroom care, kitchen floor cleaning, pest control, or products specific to the restaurant industry, including napkins and to-go containers. Our level of service is hard to come by. We regularly hear positive feedback of how much time we save restaurants by being a universal resource. Our services and product offerings check a lot of boxes that help restaurant operators manage their restaurants.
- We Employ A Team Of Top-Notch People. Whether it’s a “Proudly Obsessed with the Dirty Details”® type of service or a Fikes product supply specialist with access to over 3,000 stocked products, it’s our people and expertise that make the difference. We ensure a top-notch customer experience by never subcontracting or assigning manufacturer’s representatives to our service calls.
- We Know Deep Cleaning. When it comes to deep cleaning, restroom sanitation or pressure washing, our capable teams are “Proudly Obsessed with the Dirty Details”® of your restaurant, so you can spend more time focusing on your customers.
- We Are The Solution. We pride ourselves on being a one-stop shop, so you can spend less time sourcing service providers to address your needs
Enhance Image
We know that a restaurant professional’s goals directly relate to customer satisfaction. Our restaurant services focus on enhancing the image of your establishment so you can keep your customers coming back. How do we do that?
- We Know First Impressions Are Important. If a potential diner walks into a restaurant or restroom and is met with foul odors, sub-par products, dirty common spaces, or signs of pests, chances are they won’t return and tell others to do the same. Even if a restaurant has elegant designs and delicious food, studies indicate that a negative first impression on the restaurant makes it harder for most customers to focus beyond that.
- We Know Clean, Fresh & Pest Free. We are experts in restroom sanitation. We deep clean your front and back-of-house to keep your restaurant free of germs, bacteria and unwanted odors to maintain a positive image of your establishment. We have an award-winning pest control department with trained technicians to keep insects and rodents at bay with an individualized approach that fits your restaurant’s needs.
- We Know Details. Our trademark slogan is “Proudly Obsessed with the Dirty Details.”® At a glance, restaurant professionals think of the types of deep cleaning services and dirty work we do so well, but it goes beyond that. Imagine a beautiful, customized napkin with your logo on it, or a branded to-go container, or a beautiful stainless dispenser in your restroom that your patrons take notice of. We go the extra mile because we know the details matter to your customers. Our focus on details to enhance your image is our core objective – it’s one of our company’s core values. Our image-enhancing approach is made with the goal of keeping your customers coming back for more.
- We Know Products and Inventory Management. Our robust Product Delivery and Inventory Management services are designed to ensure your restaurant is always fully stocked with the products you need to service your dine-in and take-out customers.
