Security Best Practices: How Does Your Restaurant Stack Up?

These byproducts and discarded items include anything from general food waste, cardboard, packaging, used oil, and even hot ash.

But worst, it can lead to sanitation and safety issues that could harm someone on your team or put your guests' health at risk. Follow these best practices and keep your restaurant a safe and enjoyable environment for your employees and your guests.
