To ensure the health and safety of employees and customers of a restaurant, maintaining clean and hygiene of the restaurant is essential. The entire area of a restaurant must be cleaned properly to ensure the food safety including its preparation and handling. As a responsible position holder of a restaurant, you must carefully inspect kitchen areas, eating and dining areas and restrooms to make sure the restaurant meets health and sanitation requirements set forth by the local government.

Cleaning tasks of a restaurant include cleaning of kitchen area, dining area, restaurant floors, and the bathroom. The tips and recommendation for cleaning the area are described below.

Kitchen Area

Kitchen area of a restaurant is the key place to consider for cleaning. Foods are prepared at the kitchen and it remains great chance to contaminate the food if the proper maintenance is not confirmed. To properly clean a restaurant kitchen, the kitchen equipment and surfaces must be cleaned after each use. The equipment also needs to be disinfected and sanitized with the proper materials set by the local food administration authority. Kitchen items such as cutting boards, blenders, grills and countertops should also be disinfected.

Dining Area

The cleanliness of the dining area is necessary for food safety and maintaining the clean appearance of the restaurant. Dining area deals with the customers. So, cleaning of the area also makes a positive impact on the customers. You can lose a potential customer if the customer thinks the dining area of the restaurant is not clean enough. The area can be kept clean with cleaning bar tops, table tops and chairs.

Floors

The floors of dining and kitchen area must be cleaned to maintain the proper cleanliness of the restaurant. Regular cleaning the grease, dirt, and particles of the kitchen floor will make the floor looking good and will reduce the chance of germ buildup. Make sure the drains of kitchen floor are not clogged or jammed before cleaning the kitchen floor. It’s recommended to not clean the kitchen floor when the food preparation is in progress. This will ensure the food is not getting contaminated with the germs of the floor. Besides, the frequent and proper cleaning of the dining floor is also necessary.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms of a restaurant are used by both customers and employees. Cleaning the bathroom frequently will reduce the chance of food contamination by the employees. This is good for employee and customer both. Cleaning the toilet bowls and seats, bathroom floors frequently and cleaning the door handles will reduce the chance for food infection.
