At Bouillon in Odense, Denmark, a meal is not just about great taste and cosy surroundings – it’s also about affordability, sustainability, and efficient operations. The restaurant is part of an ambitious concept inspired by the classic bouillon restaurants of Paris, originally created to make dining out accessible to everyone – not just the wealthy. That spirit lives on today, with Bouillon focused on keeping prices low, welcoming many guests, and maintaining high standards in service, operations, and hygiene.
A restaurant in Odenese relies on Kiilto’s hygiene solutions as part of its responsible and accessible concept. Hygienic premises ensure a smooth and pleasant customer experience. Excellent food, affordable prices, and a welcoming atmosphere create a combination that is hard for customers to resist.
“Bouillon was built on the idea that everyone should be able to afford to eat out – no matter the size of their wallet,” says Kasper Dalmar Johannsen, Operations Manager at Bouillon Odense. “That means our operations need to run smoothly and efficiently – and cleaning has to work seamlessly.”
Thoughtful solutions for professional needs
When Bouillon opened its third restaurant in Odense, it was essential to find a cleaning partner that could offer reliable and user-friendly solutions. The choice fell on Kiilto – largely due to the technical and ergonomic advantages of its systems and products.
The Kiilto Pro MD Block dishwashing system impressed with its easily replaceable packages and precisely efficient dosing. The Kiilto Pro Fusion solution, chosen for detergent dosing, also stood out. It allows for easy switching between different working solutions and clean water. All solutions have been developed with a strong focus on safety and ease of use, making them ideal for a fast-paced kitchen environment.
“You can tell these systems are made for people like us – who use the products daily. It’s easy and safe to switch containers and clean floors more efficiently”,

Time-saving routines and streamlined workflows
In a busy restaurant like Bouillon, efficiency is essential. Cleaning products must not only be effective – they must also be quick and easy to use. This is where Kiilto’s solutions have made a difference.
“It’s simple to refill, switch products, and clean floors – even during peak hours. That saves us both time and daily frustration,” explains Johanssen.
The staff has noticed a clear improvement in workflow. The need to manage large amounts of disposable packaging has been reduced, and all products are well-organised and easy to access.
A sustainable approach to hygiene
Bouillon is committed to sustainability throughout its entire operation – from minimising food waste and energy consumption to sorting waste and choosing environmentally friendly packaging. Cleaning is no exception. The restaurant opts for products with certifications like the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and Kiilto’s own Natura range, while actively reducing the use of chemicals wherever possible.
“Kiilto’s high-concentration products align perfectly with our philosophy. They require smaller doses and last longer – saving resources and reducing our environmental footprint,” Johannsen concludes.
A partnership that respects the realities of daily operations
Another important factor for Bouillon is the way the partnership works. Kiilto manages to combine availability with respect for the customer’s time.
“They’ve been great at understanding our needs and guiding us to the right products that make our everyday work easier,” says Johanssen. “We don’t talk often – but we talk at the right times.”
Rather than frequent contact or constant product marketing, communication is focused and relevant. This has helped build a relationship based on trust, where Bouillon feels confident that their needs are heard – and met with meaningful solutions.
Clear value – and potential for more
The collaboration with Kiilto has delivered clear value for Bouillon: improved workflows, time savings, high hygiene standards, and a lower environmental impact – all without compromising on ease of use or product quality.
Johanssen and his team appreciate suppliers who understand the reality of running a restaurant with many guests – and the ambition to operate responsibly and efficiently. In Kiilto, they’ve found a partner who delivers on precisely that.
