Cleaning program for the Staff

In order for sanitizing of the cafe to be effective,we need to train the staff on how to sanitize and clean the cafe.

Most people who just started working in the F&B industry are somewhat clueless on cleaning and sanitizing and its importance. Therefore we need to train the staff on how to clean and sanitize the cafe.

The Staff need to know when sweeping the floor,it must be thoroughly swept at the corners and such.This is because when the floor is not swept thoroughly,there is dust collected the sides and corners. The dusts contains a lot of microbes so it must be removed by sweeping. Then they need to mop the floor with a strong detergent or sanitizer. This is due to the fact that it will kill microbes on the floor and thus the microbes do not fly around when people step on the floor and it would not land on the food too.

When cleaning the walls also,it must be cleaned properly with a wet cloth and detergent. This is due to the scum that has collected on the walls of the cafe. These scums are a haven for bacteria to thrive.

When wiping the tables and kitchen tools and equipments,clean with a wet cloth and then dry it with a paper roll or a dry cloth. When air drying, the water will allow bacteria to thrive as there is water activity and then when come the next day,the bacteria stays put at the tools. If possible use a sanitizer.

After clean up everything,boil the towels to prevent bacteria from breeding on the towels.



So that is what a cleaning program should teach the staffs to have a rough idea of cleaning and sanitizing in the kitchen.
