Restaurant kitchen hygiene has evolved dramatically from basic cleaning routines to comprehensive, science-based protocols that integrate multiple systems for maximum safety effectiveness. Modern consumers expect not just clean food, but evidence that rigorous hygiene standards are consistently maintained throughout the food preparation process.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this evolution, introducing enhanced sanitization requirements and customer awareness that continue to shape expectations. Today’s successful restaurants implement hygiene protocols that exceed minimum requirements, creating competitive advantages through superior safety standards.
