Does your kitchen operation send the right message?
One of the best ways to predict the quality of meals and service at a restaurant is to examine the restroom. Restrooms, including toilets, tiles and washbasins - are among the easiest rooms to clean. If a restaurant cannot keep its restroom clean, then you can be sure that the kitchen will be worse. It does not matter if it is a swanky, upscale restaurant or simple diner.
Messy kitchens tend to breed food borne pathogens, poor quality food and an indifference to customers. Conversely, clean kitchens reflect healthiness, a passion for quality and desire to delight customers.
Do you care about the state of your kitchens, and take pride in your restaurant? Do you have a way to ensure that your high standards are met? A kitchen audit is a simple and standardized way to make it happen.
How about prep stations? Is equipment cleaned and maintained? Would you mind if a guest walked in unannounced and saw the condition of the kitchen?
Gloves worn? Checks and whites in good condition? Is your kitchen staff presentable enough to walk through the dining room and not turn heads? (Don't let them out there unless they're a positive reflection of your kitchen).
What conclusion do your customers draw about your kitchen based on what they see in your bathrooms?
A complete kitchen audit should cover:-
Do you have an open kitchen? Bravo. It takes guts and discipline to show the world what you're up to behind the line - even more reason to be obsessive about the cleanliness (and professionalism) of your kitchen.
