The first LongHorn Steakhouse opened in Atlanta, GA, in 1981, and quickly built a reputation for serving great steaks. Since then, the restaurant has grown to 450 locations. Eric Dreffin is a managing partner for The Longhorn Steakhouse of West Cobb in Marietta, GA, an hour outside Atlanta. His restaurant improved cleaning productivity by switching from two tools (a vacuum and a broom) to just one tool for cleaning both carpet and hard floors—the ProVac® FS 6 backpack vacuum from ProTeam®.
“The ProVac is a one stop shop for us. We were able to effectively combine sweeping and vacuuming all in one,” said Dreffin. “It’s lightweight and very portable. Easy to use as well.”
In pursuit of further productivity gains, Dreffin’s location recently field-tested the new ProBlade™ Floor Tools with their ProVac backpack vacuum. The ProBlade Floor Tools move quickly through routine vacuuming with a new vacuuming motion. The unique design effectively reaches more places, like baseboards, stairs, and around obstacles.
“The ProBlade kit reduced the time spent cleaning floors by 15 to 20 minutes,” said Dreffin. “It made cleaning our establishment much faster and easier. The staff thinks it’s a great product.”
Used with a straight telescoping wand, the ProBlade Floor Tool is able to clean flush against obstacles, allowing for better overall coverage. It has an intake port on each end of the tool, spreading the suction more evenly across its length and improving debris pickup. Its flexible L-shaped joint allows for cleaning under low obstacles.
“The ProBlade Floor Tools and straight telescoping wand immediately made a huge difference at our restaurant,” said Dreffin. “The kit is easier to use and effectively reaches under booths, tables, and along walls. It is also easier to swap the tool attachments.”
