eli5 why kitchens are so slippery

I’ve worked in fast food for probably 3 years or so, and i’ve always wondered why the kitchens are so slippery? It seems so weird to me that I have to get special shoes to be able to walk in a kitchen

Great answers about being easier to clean but just one other note, if you are working in fast food, you are also working in an environment where there is grease everywhere. The grill will be cooking the patties which will inevitable have aerosolized grease end up on the floor. The person cooking the burgers will inevitably end up stepping on some of this grease on the floor and track it to where they put the cooked burgers. Then the prep person will walk through that while they are making the burgers and track it all over. Then the expo will walk through that when they are grabbing the food and track it all over. Same thing is happening at the fry station. So how you have grease from the grill and the fry station all over the floor of the kitchen, on a hard impenetrable surface made to be easy to clean, which means the floor is going to be slippery.
