As a restaurant owner, you know the importance of food safety. The amount of preparation and prevention that you need to ensure gets done can sometimes get overwhelming. Even though your restaurant insurance is there as a safety net, it is better for your restaurant’s image and reputation to not have any food safety issues in the first place.

In an effort to condense the food safety tips your restaurant needs to be using, we found an article concerning ten of the most important safety tips for a commercial kitchen. These tips include:

1. Train managers and staff properly
2. Wash hands constantly
3. Always wash produce before use
4. Make sure cold foods are properly refrigerated
5. Cook foods to appropriate temperatures
6. Sanitize all surfaces
7. Perform random inspections of your restaurant
8. Be aware of all local and state health codes
9. Check food temperatures regularly
10. Inspect all incoming shipments of food

If your restaurant follows all ten of these safety guidelines, your chance of making a customer sick will be reduced. Along with this, your probability of needing to file a restaurant insurance claim will also decrease!
