Restaurants, bars, hotels, cruise ships, catering and other hospitality businesses are modifying operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and are looking for ways to ensure the safety of both staff and customers by stopping the spread of bacteria and viruses, including coronavirus.
In this new normal, customers expect increased sanitation measures and businesses are faced with the challenge of how to meet those expectations and restore customer confidence in cleanliness. Because it doesn’t do any good to have the doors open if customers aren’t walking through them.
Innovative Products to Improve Hygiene and Safety while Maximizing Efficiency and Profit
Bar Maid offers proven products and equipment that have been in use since before coronavirus emerged on the scene, because improving hygiene and safety has always been a focus of our product development.
We understand the need to invest in new equipment after shutdown and lost revenue doesn’t feel good to hospitality businesses, and that equipment will need to meet a lot of new goals to justify the investment. Bar Maid equipment checks a lot of those boxes.
In this new normal, drying and polishing glassware and cutlery with “hand on rag” won’t make anyone feel safe and the new mantra should be “hands off for hygiene.” Bar Maid’s Glass Polishers and Cutlery Polishers help achieve that goal and more.

FLY-BYE Floor Drain Trap Seal
The World Health Organization found floor drains were a conduit for aerosolized virus to travel between apartment units and contributed to a super-spreading event of SARS-CoV infection. SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, may spread in the same manner since drains of toilets, sinks, showers and floor drains are interconnected, even between different units in a building.
Bar Maid’s FLY-BYE Floor Drain Trap Seal is a patented one-way valve that prevents aerosolized pathogens, sewer gases, insects and odors from coming up through the floor drain, while allowing water and solids to drain down.
- Currently used in thousands of independent and chain restaurants, hotels, hospitals and stadiums
- Makes drains virtually maintenance free, no need to add primers and fresh water
- For residential and commercial use
- Installs quickly and easily in minutes
- Does not impede flow rate
- 4 sizes to fit most drains
- Cost effective
- HACCP Certified, multiple approvals and certifications
