How To Keep Food Poisoning Out of Your Restaurant
The Health Department enacts strict cleanliness and safety guidelines for a reason. It can be easy to make mistakes or cut corners during a busy rush, but that’s the time when sticking to the right way to do things matters most. Food poisoning occurs when contaminated substances come in contact with food going out to customers. It might be from an employee using food that should be treated as waste. It might be because an employee doesn’t properly wash their hands.
Another cause of food poisoning comes from one of the harsh realities of the restaurant business: sometimes, staff comes to work feeling sick. Sick employees can spread their illness to other staff, increasing the likelihood of customers interacting with a sick employee. It may cause some stress in the kitchen because you’re short staffed, but the more ways you remove food poisoning risks and contamination risks, the better things will be for your restaurant in the long run.
