Understanding the importance of keeping health and safety of our customers, as a general manager priority number one should be our customer's safety, step number one would be to make sure we provide our customer with fresh and quality food from a official and approved source.

April 2, 2025

My overall view of handling food to people is that we should take it very serious knowing that you are responsible as a store manager for the safety of many people. mainly focus on key concepts like personal hygiene, proper food handling. temperature control, and common foodborne illnesses,

cross-contamination:

learn to prevent cross-contamination, temperature control: food storage: foodborne illnesses.

Rather Informative Training

September 28, 2025

It’s thanks to this food handler’s training course that I now know the proper ways to store, handle, prepare, cook, serve, and maintain the safest temperature for any given food item. Unfortunately, due to the robotic computerized voice and disingenuous health inspector avatar, it makes it difficult to stay properly immersed and focused on the training course without a living human presence.
