Prompt communication about any problem or opportunity of improvement concerning hygiene, is a very good tool for preventing claims. Preventive and structured planning of cleaning and maintenance has become a consolidated approach for meeting this target.The Management welcomes any report of difficulties as well as  improvements’ opportunities at any level, in order to increase hygiene management and increase customer satisfaction.
