✨ New year. Same kitchens. Higher expectations.
January is when hospitality teams reset, reviewing systems, tightening standards, and planning for a busy year ahead.

It’s also the perfect time to look at what’s behind the scenes:
👉 Are extraction systems clean and compliant?
👉 Are filters working efficiently after peak season?
👉 Are your kitchens set up to support staff health and safety in 2026?

At Just Filters, we believe a strong year starts with solid foundations: clean air, well-maintained systems, and environments where teams can do their best work.

Here’s to safer kitchens, smoother services, and fewer surprises in the year ahead. 🥂

🎄 Christmas week in hospitality…
Full kitchens. Longer shifts. Zero room for things going wrong. 😅🍽️

This is the week extraction systems work their hardest, more heat, more grease, more pressure behind the scenes.

✨ At Just Filters, we focus on the unglamorous but essential stuff:
Clean extraction = better air
Well-maintained filters = safer kitchens
Reliable systems = teams that can focus on service, not problems

As we head into the final days of 2025, huge respect to the hospitality and facilities teams keeping everything running when it matters most 👏

However you’re spending this week, on shift or finally off, we’re wishing you a safe, smooth, and well-earned Christmas.

📣 Super flu is hitting the UK hard this December! 🎄🤧

Hospitals are packed, schools are tightening hygiene, and everyone’s talking about the dreaded H3N2, aka super flu. It’s spreading fast, and no, it’s not on your Christmas wish list.

Here’s the thing: viruses don’t just hang around classrooms and hospitals. They love busy kitchens, bustling hotels, and cafes serving up festive treats. 🎅🍽️

✨ At Just Filters, we like to keep it practical:

- Clean, well‑maintained extractors and filters = better air, fewer unwanted visitors (cough, cough… flu).

- Routine cleaning + hygiene checks = less cross-contamination, fewer surprises.

- A team that works in a clean, safe environment = healthier staff, happier guests, and smooth service.

Think of it this way: the turkey, the mince pies, and the mulled wine are the stars… but clean air and safe kitchens are the unsung heroes of the season.

💬 Over to you: what’s your team doing this December to keep flu at bay? 👇

🍻 “Extending pub hours won’t work,” says Terry Cole, landlord of The Royal Oak in Wolverhampton.

With plans under review to allow pubs to open later, many in hospitality are questioning whether longer hours really address the sector’s biggest challenges.

As Terry points out, the late-night crowd just isn’t what it used to be, the post-Covid shift in drinking habits, rising costs, and staff shortages remain the real hurdles.

As pubs face rising costs & shifting habits, do you think longer hours would help, or just add more strain? 💬
