Handwashing Compliance Tool Instills Confidence and Improves Customer Experience in Restaurants, Retail and More

Jun 3, 2020

ST. LOUIS, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers are looking for additional ways to protect themselves from getting sick. Business owners are scrambling to add additional layers of protection to instill guest confidence and get people back into their stores and restaurants. Enter the Clean Hands Company, the St. Louis based technology-meets-hygiene manufacturers of the Clean Hands System. This unique handwashing compliance system, developed by Ray Johnson and Fred Striley, ensures employees wash their hands on a regular basis. Launched in 2009, the system was originally created with restaurants in mind, but the founders knew that hand washing was a necessity that encompassed so much more than just food and beverage.

The Clean Hands System

The Clean Hands System is simple: an easy-to-use handwashing compliance tool that helps streamline daily operations for management teams. The motion-activated soap dispenser emits an audible beep when a crew member places their hands underneath. They then say their name or pass phrase and are immediately identified by the system via speech recognition. The team member's name appears on the LCD display as they wash their hands. Each dispenser event is logged to a database on the server and is available for review ensuring correct compliance.

"It's part of my job to make sure employees wash their hands…it's what good restauranteurs do," says Chris LaRocca, Founder and CEO of Crushed Red, a St. Louis area fast casual chain that uses the Clean Hands System. "Guests love the fact that we've installed the Clean Hands System and have actually written letters to thank us."

Besides restaurants, other businesses that could benefit from a Clean Hands System include:
Hospitals
Dentists Offices
Nursing Homes
Urgent Care Clinics
Adult Day Care
Rehab Facilities
Cafeterias
Catering Companies
Event Venues
Sports Vending
Food Processors/Manufacturers
Shopping Malls
Boutiques
Jewelry Stores

Ensuring that teams wash their hands has never been easier. And, giving people extra incentive to walk through your doors couldn't come at a better time.

About Clean Hands Company
Established in St. Louis, Missouri in 1995 by Ray Johnson, The Clean Hands Company is on the forefront of creating technology that keeps people safe.

Good Trip review: Nick Cheung, Chung Suet-ying play father and daughter in road comedy

3.5/5 stars In Good Trip, a father and daughter’s impromptu final excursion unfolds as a deceptively playful comedy road movie. It tackles one of the most agonising subjects a family can face – the impending death of a parent – with surprising, life-affirming levity. Co-directed by Norris Wong Yee-lam (The Lyricist Wannabe) – who also wrote the screenplay – and Wong Hoi (Let It Ghost), and produced by the acclaimed filmmaker Mabel Cheung Yuen-ting, the film avoids unbearable sentimentality; it...

At AIA Healthy Living Week 2026, that idea surfaced in different ways through exercise, conversations about protection and emotional...

Singapore’s three-Michelin-star Restaurant Zen reopened in August 2026 after a three-month refurbishment – with a medley of changes that mark its new chapter. Founded in 2018 by Swedish chef Bjorn Frantzen, Zen inhabits a three-storey shophouse along the buzzing Bukit Pasoh Road in Chinatown. The renewed interior swaps the previous living-room setting on the ground floor for a 16-seat stone counter, in a look more reminiscent of Frantzen’s eponymous restaurant in Stockholm and FZN in Dubai. “I...
