A Food Delivery Bag That Safely Deliver Meals

We all know by now that food safety is of utmost importance and you cannot take any chances in this area when you are managing a restaurant or food delivery service. Your customers expect that you will ensure that the food you are providing them will have been hygienically prepared. They also expect that you have taken all the necessary precautions to ensure that the food remains uncontaminated during the delivery thereof.

When you have a food delivery system in place it is a good idea to invest in good quality food delivery bags that protect the food on the inside.

Here are the features of a good quality food delivery bag:

• It should be durable. A food delivery bag that is made of 600d material and is double stitched which will give it the necessary durability because it will be strong enough to endure constant use.
• It should have the ability to maintain the temperature inside. For example, an average delivery can take up to 30 minutes so the bag should be able to maintain the food's temperature for the duration of the half an hour.
• The bag should be able to retain the heat. A food delivery bag with the inside lined with follene ensures a better rate of heat retention. As the food is being delivered you know that it will remain warm by the time it reaches the customer so that they can enjoy a wonderfully warm meal.
• The bag should be the right size. What size would that be? One that fits most delivery bike boxes. Many restaurants use motorbikes for a quick and cost efficient delivery service and these motorbikes have a box at the back which is, of course, a set size. So the size of the bag is integral to the decision making process.
• An easy to clean fabric is ideal. Because you need to clean the bag after each delivery, when the bag is made of an easy to clean fabric this makes the cleaning function easier and quicker. After each delivery the bag can be wiped clean and ready for the next delivery.

Here are also a few food delivery bag cleaning and safety tips that may help you:

• Wipe the bags with sanitiser or a washing liquid regularly.
• For the delivery person handling the bag, ensure that sanitiser and gloves is made compulsory.
• One of the best ways to clean a food delivery bag is with a diluted bleach solution. However, approach with caution because you want to avoid exposing the bags to concentrated bleach as this may damage the artwork on the outside of the bag and the insulating materials on the inside of the bag.
• Inspect the bags on a quarterly basis and when they show signs of wear and tear, replace the bags.
