Golden State Restaurant Group
Golden State Restaurants is a locally owned and operated family company, partnering with McDonalds to offer restaurants in the California counties of San Joaquin, Sacramento, Stanislaus and Amador. This important cornerstone of their community does so much more than offer quality food and customer experience at an affordable price. Like Harmony, Golden State Restaurants’ core values reflect a deep commitment to their career, community, culture, and company.
Golden State Restaurants offer equal opportunity employment, scholarships, and career advancement for hundreds of local residents. They are also very active in other community activities, such as their Harvest Program that was created to allow food from their kitchens to be repurposed for those in need, rather than thrown away.
Golden State Restaurant Group also recognizes that their first responders are putting their lives on the line and we fully support their vital role in their communities. To show support, they have held Beacon of Blue™ events to don each city in blue. In addition, Community BBQ’s and Community Pulse™ events are held to gather community members with their police departments to engage in conversation and better relationships.
From a food acquisition perspective, they source many of their agricultural products from local fields as a part of their Field to Restaurant initiative. Golden State Restaurant Group supports local charities, inviting the community to participate every year in the Give A Hand fundraiser in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities®.
Just as impressively, this innovative company has a focus on the environment! They participate in the Coffee Grounds Recycling Program which allows used coffee grounds to be utilized as soil amendment or compost, instead of filling landfills. Part of their overall mission as a company is to make progress around preserving the environment by using less energy, seeking sustainability food sources and reducing waste.
Its because of their outstanding commitment to their customers, their community, and the environment that Harmony is proud to call them a partner for nearly three decades!
A Golden Partnership
Bob Hancock has been with Golden State Restaurants for thirty years, been doing business with Harmony Enterprises for about 25 years. During that time, he has helped to procure several of Harmony’s indoor stainless steel trash compactors, including our 300SS and 450SS models.
These space-saving vertical compactors are used in their kitchen areas to help them manage food preparation waste at its source. Using these long lasting restaurant kitchen trash compactors, employees make fewer runs to the outdoor compactor or dumpster, allowing them more time to provide the world class service their guests have come to expect.
Not only do the compactors help them save time, they help keep the kitchen area clean, reducing fire, vermin, odor, and other hazards. This helps Golden State Restaurants maintain the highest health and safety standards that are so important to licensure and brand image. And, as you can imagine, Harmony’s stainless steel compactors create a significant cost savings related to trash hauling!
Mr. Hancock likes the 450SS model the best, stating, “As far as cost, we noticed a significant decrease in the trash company bills, were able to decrease the times the company comes to dump!”
He continued by praising Harmony’s tech support. “Also, we love the tech support, especially on the new units, with the computer boards on the new units ! We work on everything in the restaurants , and can’t remember how to work on everything, so tech support is appreciated!”
“As far as cost, we noticed a significant decrease in the trash company bills, were able to decrease the times the company comes to dump!”
