Case Studies
Starbucks Mid-America Stores Case Study

SB logoProblem: High plumbing costs due to particles being ingested into drains.

The Drain-Net Solution: In a pro-active measure, Starbucks began installing Drain-Net floor baskets, typically found near the ice bin, dump sink, drive-through dipper well, ice machine, and the sink. The Drain-net baskets were able to successfully catch milk caps, coffee beans, charging canisters, and other particles from going down the drain. 

Cost Savings: Starbucks estimates annual savings per store to be $200 to $300 due to fewer reactive plumbing service requests. In addition to preventing backed up drains, Starbucks also found that the proper use of drain baskets mitigated potential pest issues.

Case Study: Red Lobster Restaurants

 

Problem: Red Lobster restaurants were experiencing high plumbing costs due to regular drain backups caused by food and debris present in the restaurant. A mechanical plumbing company was called to flush the lines on average once a month. Monthly plumbing costs where about $1,000.

 

The Drain-Net Solution: We recommended and installed a Trash Interceptor. This stainless steel strainer cabinet was installed in line below the dish sink to catch the majority of debris coming from the sink. Secondly, an SFL-10 Floor Sink Strainer was installed in the floor to catch any overflow debris which can accumulate on the floor The final safety guard against clogged drains was the installation of a 3” Drain-Net in the bottom drain of the floor sink. Estimated debris captured is over 50 lbs of material disposed in the trash versus the drainage system.
