Bringing together a joint passion to help restaurants create safe and sustainable environments for employees and customers, PathSpot Technologies, the world’s first real-time hand scanning hygiene system, announced a partnership with Touchland, the revolutionary hand sanitizer brand known for elevating everyday experiences
through advanced technology, design, and formulations.
With public health at the center of the national conversation, restaurants need tools and
technology more than ever to keep compliant with rapidly changing guidelines and consumer expectations. The partnership between PathSpot and Touchland provides a turnkey solution for restaurant operators to enhance hand hygiene in the front and back-of-house simultaneously for the safety and protection of both employees and customers. As leaders in the hygiene and compliance space, they’ve helped thousands of employees and customers feel safe returning to work and their favorite restaurants throughout the pandemic.
PathSpot and Touchland support thousands of restaurants around the country by ensuring
hand hygiene standards are met. The PathSpot Hand Scanner uses light-based detection to
provide real-time feedback on the quality and effectiveness of every hand wash for restaurant staff. The scanner delivers results in less than two seconds if harmful contaminants are detected, so team members can take corrective action to prevent the spread of illness. The PathSpot system also collects data on each handwash, which is aggregated and reported through a mobile data application to stakeholders at all levels of the organization. Using machine learning and custom analytics, PathSpot identifies key trends of risk and generates targeted action plans and trainings for businesses to exceed expectations in protecting their customers and team members.
Touchland’s sleek and contemporary-looking hands-free Kub Hand Sanitizer Dispenser is the first-of-its-kind smart hand sanitizer dispenser that combines design, IoT technology and hydrating, germ-killing formulas to keep both customers and employees safe. Each Kub uses self-monitoring smart technology for low maintenance and refill consumption, and the corresponding Touchland mobile app gives restaurant managers access to up to 100 dispensers straight from their smartphone.
“PathSpot and Touchland share a similar mission to keep restaurant customers and employees safe through hand hygiene,” said Christine Schindler, CEO & Co-Founder of PathSpot. “This partnership was a natural fit to provide restaurants comprehensive hygiene protection from the moment a customer walks in the door and sanitizes their hands, all the way to the back-of-house team scanning their hands to detect contaminants that spread illness.
“Through our partnership with PathSpot, we are making it simpler for restaurants of all sizes to get the technology they need to keep guests and staff safe, and create a great customer experience along the way,” said Ed Krafcik, Head of US Business Development at Touchland. “It has never been more important for restaurants to have a holistic hand hygiene strategy. Together, we’re hoping to make this more accessible for the industry.”
PathSpot was named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Best Inventions of 2019 and a finalist in Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas 2020. Touchland is the first hand sanitizer brand to be awarded Allure’s Best of Beauty Award and was recently nominated as a finalist for Fast
Company’s Innovation By Design Award for the Power Mist and Kub hand sanitizer dispenser.
