"Fact or Frictionless:" What's On Your Table & Digital Devices?

This presentation addresses the explosion in use of digital devices, often referred to as "frictionless service," across the foodservice industry. Customer-facing digital devices represent a significant cross-contamination-driven foodborne illness risk to employees and guests alike. This presentation examines different types of digital devices in use, how they are being used and who is using them. Anchored by quantitatively robust, ATP-device-collected data, we explore the extent and types of bacteria found on a wide range of devices across the retail landscape. We conclude with data-backed recommendations for single-use, wipe based cleaning and sanitizing protocols for these ubiquitous devices.
