The P&G Professional survey found a vast majority of Americans feel comfortable ordering takeout (91%), dining outdoors (83%), and even indoors at a restaurant (77%). This comfort, however, comes with high expectations of cleanliness.

The importance of restaurant cleanliness is emphasized, regardless of how and where Americans enjoy meals. Most Americans express how important it is for them to see a visible clean whether dining indoors (93%), outdoors (92%), or when ordering takeout (92%).

Additionally, four out of five (82%) say they lose their appetite when they see grease or dirt at a restaurant, making it critical for restaurants to arm themselves with the tools they need to keep kitchen and dining room surfaces visibly clean. Transparency also remains a top priority, with 70% of Americans yearning for restaurants to be more open about the cleaning products they use.

“P&G Professional is committed to providing restaurants and commercial kitchens with the products they need to keep their kitchens and dining rooms open and thriving,” said Paul Edmondson, North America Vice President, P&G Professional. “In continued support of small businesses, we wanted to get a pulse on where Americans stood on dining out and what could help drive more diners into restaurants.
