Kitchen Cleaning and Maintenance <br />Kitchens have a direct impact on guest morale, so it is essential that they be kept clean and well <br />maintained. Dirty kitchens often contribute to poor morale and a low level of respect for the company. <br />Our kitchens are equipped with many or all of the following items: microwaves, sinks, refrigerators, <br />ranges, ice makers, vending machines, and coffee makers. The areas around these appliances and <br />machines are often the messiest part of the room. You can expect to see food and liquid spills, discarded <br />wrappers, cups, straws, napkins, etc. Because our kitchens are not used on a daily basis, deep cleaning is <br />required immediately after an event and immediately preceding an event. <br />In addition to being unsightly, the messy areas of a kitchen can present a safety hazard. Wet floors are <br />slip hazards, and dirty countertops and food -handling surfaces can be breeding grounds for bacteria, <br />mold, and insects. <br />Kitchen Cleaning Protocol: <br />1.
