Case Study: How Much a Busy Restaurant Spends on Cling Film (and How GNSeal Can Save You Money)

In a busy restaurant with both lunch and dinner operations, managing costs is essential. One often overlooked cost is cling film. Whether it's used for wrapping food, sealing pans, or covering ingredients, cling film is a staple in most commercial kitchens. But have you ever considered how much your restaurant is spending on cling film each month? More importantly, what savings could be achieved by switching to a more durable and reusable alternative like GNSeal?

In this blog post, we’ll break down the costs of cling film in a busy restaurant and show how switching to GNSeal could save you money in the long run.

Cling Film Usage in a Busy Restaurant
Assumptions:

The restaurant uses 1 box of cling film (30 meters) every 2 days for wrapping food, covering pans, and sealing ingredients.
Each box of cling film costs AED 85.
The restaurant operates 30 days a month.
1. Monthly Cling Film Usage:

Since the restaurant uses 1 box every 2 days, the total monthly usage will be:

30 days ÷ 2 days per box = 15 boxes per month.
2. Monthly Cost of Cling Film:

With each box costing AED 85, the total monthly cost for cling film will be:

15 boxes x AED 85 = AED 1,275 per month.
3. Yearly Cost of Cling Film:

Over the course of a year, the total cost for cling film will be:

AED 1,275 per month x 12 months = AED 15,300 per year spent on cling film.
Switching to GNSeal: How Much Could You Save?
Now, let’s explore how much the restaurant could save by switching to GNSeal. Since GNSeals are reusable and designed for GN pans, the restaurant will no longer need to purchase cling film frequently.

1 GNSeal for Each GN Pan:

Assuming the restaurant uses 100 GN pans daily, each GN pan will be covered with a reusable GNSeal. These covers last much longer than cling film and are meant for multiple uses.

Cost of Using GNSeal:

Let’s assume each GNSeal costs AED 30. For 100 GN pans, the restaurant would need 100 GNSeals initially. The total cost for purchasing the covers would be:

100 GNSeals x AED 30 = AED 3,000 for the initial investment.
Since GNSeals are reusable and can last for 6 months (on average), the monthly cost for GNSeals would be:

AED 3,000 ÷ 6 months = AED 500 per month.
Yearly Cost of GNSeal:

Over the course of the year, the total cost of GNSeal would be:

AED 500 per month x 12 months = AED 6,000 per year.
Comparing the Costs:
Here’s a direct comparison of the costs:

Cling Film Cost: AED 15,300 per year
GNSeal Cost: AED 6,000 per year (initial investment and replacement every 6 months)
Savings:

By switching to GNSeal, the restaurant could save:

AED 15,300 - AED 6,000 = AED 9,300 per year!
Conclusion:
Switching from traditional cling film to GNSeal is a smart financial decision for a busy restaurant. While the initial cost of GNSeals is higher, their reusability means much lower ongoing costs compared to buying cling film every few days.

By saving AED 9,300 annually on cling film, your restaurant can redirect these funds to other areas, such as upgrading kitchen equipment, improving the dining experience, or training staff. Plus, by reducing cling film use, your restaurant is also contributing to sustainability by cutting down on plastic waste.

So, why not make the change today? GNSeal is a cost-effective, durable, and eco-friendly solution for busy kitchens everywhere!
