Our Services

Are your customers checking up on your food hygiene standards?

To what degree do your customers take your hygiene standards into account when deciding whether to give you their custom? What factors do they use to judge your hygiene standards? And how much could their perception be costing your business in lost sales?

A Food Standards Agency (FSA) survey published in July 2011 found that 52% of respondents were concerned about the safety of food sold in restaurants, pubs, cafes and takeaways. Interestingly, 82% said they were aware of the hygiene standards of these establishments. When asked how they were aware, they identified a number of factors. For example, 30% of respondents used hygiene certificates to make a judgement, either alone or in conjunction with other factors.

With reference to customer perceptions, legal standards, up-to-date guidance, and our invaluable ‘inside knowledge’ of the enforcement sector, Ascensis can help safeguard your business with our advice and consultancy services. Read on for details of our services.
