Signify serves up peace of mind for diners across Taiwanese restaurant chain Signify serves up peace of mind for diners across Taiwanese restaurant chain March 29, 2022 Peace of mind on the menu for diners at TTFB's restaurants in Taiwan – Signify and TTFB, the largest Asian cuisine chain restaurant operator in Taiwan, installs a double disinfection solution across 80 of their restaurants – TTFB serves up an added layer of protection for diners and employees using Philips UV-C disinfection luminaires across all indoor areas Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, installs its Philips UV-C lighting disinfection solutions in 80 restaurants run by TTFB, the largest Asian cuisine chain restaurant operator in Taiwan. Restaurants were among the hardest hit business sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic. When lockdown regulations were lifted in August 2021, TTFB began the rollout of their advanced disinfection strategy across 80 of its chain restaurant locations, including Thai Town Cuisine, Very Thai Restaurant, and Shann Rice Bar. Philips UV-C disinfection luminaires provide a well-established method of disinfection, UV-C light, used to disinfect air, water, and surfaces from pathogens. By deploying UV-C solutions throughout its restaurants, TTFB offers customers a dining environment that allows them to feel more secure from the moment they walk in the door. Customers can take off their face masks in the shared dining spaces knowing there is an added layer of protection against exposure to bacteria and viruses. Double disinfection approach brings restaurant cleaning to an entirely new level Together with Signify, TTFB designed a UV-C disinfection plan that covered all indoor areas, from the front entrance to the dining area to the kitchen. TTFB installed floor-standing Philips UV-C air disinfection units near the reception area where diners first enter the restaurant. The generous air flow and UV-C light will contribute to effectively inactivating bacteria and viruses in the air brought into the restaurant from outside. TTFB installed Philips UV-C upper air disinfection luminaires in the dining areas, where people remove their face masks to eat. The Philips solutions continuously disinfect the upper air of an indoor space, and the disinfected upper air circulates down to the dining area through natural air convection, allowing consumers to feel more secure knowing there is an added layer of protection for them, while they enjoy their meals. TTFB also installed Philips UV-C disinfection luminaires in the kitchen for surface disinfection of the cooking areas and workstations, which are timed to come on once the restaurant is closed and employees have gone home. Featured safeguard controls on the luminaires use sensor monitoring, which automatically shuts down the UV-C disinfection if a person or animal is detected within the range of the sensor, preventing potentially harmful exposure to the UV-C light. At TTFB we are constantly improving our ’safer restaurant’ strategy to further protect our employees and customers during the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe the co-operation with Signify not only increases our customers’ comfort level within our restaurants, but also delivers a future-proof solution for the industry that allows us to take a significant step forward.” Doris Hsu Customer Service Department Senior Manager of TTFB “At TTFB we are constantly improving our ’safer restaurant’ strategy to further protect our employees and customers during the COVID-19 pandemic, ” said Doris Hsu, Customer Service Department Senior Manager of TTFB. “We believe the co-operation with Signify not only increases our customers’ comfort level within our restaurants, but also delivers a future-proof solution for the industry that allows us to take a significant step forward.” Eric Yu, General Manager of Signify Taiwan, said, “Our customers use Philips UV-C disinfection lighting devices to enhance their disinfection strategies.
