cleaning
Uzaje makes it possible to switch to reuse on a restaurant chain scale!
You already use or are about to use reusable containers and tableware in your restaurants, sales outlets or events, but :
- You don't have an in-house cleaning solution
- Your cleaning systems are no longer adapted: not only to the new volume of reusable dishes to be processed, but also to the new materials to be washed and dried (plastics).
- You have strong HR constraints and want to focus on your core business and not on cleaning
- You want to leave the management of the cleaning process to a specialist who can guarantee sanitary quality and traceability.
- You want to provide your franchise network with an economically and environmentally efficient outsourced alternative.
At Uzaje, we wash your containers in the industrial center closest to our network!
The Uzaje factories are equipped with several state-of-the-art cleaning lines to enable you to wash a wide variety of stainless steel, plastic or glass container formats for commercial catering: bowls, plates, boxes, forks, knives, spoons, glass, gourds, mugs, trays, pots, jars, lids, bottles, containers, crockery, etc., as well as secondary packaging such as packing cases.
Why entrust your container cleaning to Uzaje?
- Pooling and industrialization of cleaning processes to offer competitive cleaning costs per container compared with single-use.

Support
Coconstructing together, the tailor-made re-use solution that meets your challenges for a responsible and virtuous consumption pattern.
At Uzaje, we pool the know-how of the players in the reuse loop to offer you cutting-edge support. Our aim is to provide you with all the strategic keys and operational action plans you need to make reuse a part of your daily life.
Uzaje supports you in the key areas of re-use:
The switch to reusable containers is a major challenge for the foodservice industry. Together, we study your environment and recommend reusable packaging solutions adapted to your production and storage processes, while integrating the enhancement of your products and the consumer experience.
Our experience and expertise enable us to offer you consistent choices in durable plastic, stainless steel or glass.
Depending on your reuse strategy (on-site and/or take-away sales), the deployment of reusable tableware may involve setting up a traceability and/or deposit system to ensure the correct return of containers.
We study container flows and advise you on the best approach and how to implement it within your organization: QR code, RFID, loyalty card, deposit management account, deposit management application, deconsignment system....
On-site or outsourced cleaning, as well as the return of empty containers by consumers, requires the adaptation of catering and production areas.
We analyze customer and container flows to help you organize collection and container storage areas, as well as the choice of collection furniture.
Given the variety of restaurants in terms of catering space, production or volume, we study the options of in-house (point-of-sale or centralized) / outsourced cleaning and their impact on your operations, from an organizational, economic and environmental point of view.
We'll give you the strategic keys to a decision that's relevant and consistent with your network's operational reality.
Experimentation allows you to test on a small scale the reality and operation of a reuse system within one or more establishments, to learn from feedback from the field and adjust the solution to ensure your deployment with peace of mind.
We support you from A to Z throughout your project:
- Definition of experimentation objectives, key success factors and scope definition
- Set-up: recommendations on what needs to be acquired for the experiment to run smoothly (primary and secondary containers, return solution, process, etc.).
- Project management: exchanges with restaurants and teams, on-site training of teams before the launch of the experiment. Follow-up throughout the project.
- cleaning, collection and delivery logistics
- Definition of measurement tools and KPI monitoring
- Co-construction of communication elements
- Consumer research
- Assessment of experimentation, recommendations for deployment
