Creating a food safety protocol requires consideration of several factors, including customer and employee safety, food quality and traceability. The first step should be creating a hygiene regime for staff to follow; ensuring staff are correctly trained to ensure knowledge and understanding of the correct processes is paramount in reducing risk. It should include frequent cleaning of surfaces, utensils and equipment, and procedures for safe handling, storing and cooking of food. Additionally, measures such as temperature controls on equipment or having physical barriers such as sneeze guards are effective safeguards that should be considered when appropriate. Finally contingency plans should also be put into action in order to respond quickly in case of incidents occurrences or violations of rules to maintain a safe environment throughout the whole process.

A food safety protocol should include several steps to reduce risk to customers and employees. This should start with proper hygiene training for all staff including proper hand-washing techniques, wearing gloves and other forms of protective clothing when handling food, and maintaining a clean work area. The food safety protocol should also emphasize temperature control of any ready-to-eat foods, safe holding temperatures for perishable items, cross-contamination prevention, procedures for receiving and preparing deliveries from external vendors or sources; and the proper storage of all food items. Furthermore, it is important to have regularly scheduled inspections of kitchen areas such as equipment surfaces as well as employee’s practicing frequent cleaning of their work areas. The inspectors should also pay attention to water condition – water flow rate, sedimentation rate and pH value etc.. Last but not least one must pay strict attention in complying with all required local government regulations which could be different from region to region.”
