Key insights by sector

Restroom Usage by Sector

Offices & Industry

Employees are present throughout the entire working day, averaging 8 hours on-site. On average, they visit the restroom 3 times per day, resulting in consistently high and predictable usage.

Education & Government

Schools and universities are characterised by high occupancy density and extended stays. This combination leads to exceptionally high restroom visit rates, placing significant demand on sanitary facilities.

Retail

Visitors typically spend a short amount of time in retail environments, averaging 1 to 2 hours. Only 12% to 15% of passing shoppers make use of the available sanitary facilities, resulting in relatively low but fluctuating usage.

Hospitality

In the hospitality sector, restroom usage tends to peak at specific moments throughout the day, such as during lunch, dinner service, and scheduled breaks at events. Capacity planning around these peak moments is essential.
