The rise in online food ordering and delivery means potential new problems related to food safety.
The preparation of food in a cloud kitchen or other commissary kitchen models is causing some challenges.
Several examples include:
- Staff won’t be interacting with guests or getting tips, feedback on quality and customer expectations
- Hiring on-demand staff
- Food quality and food safety
- Local regulation and licensure
How can your kitchen ensure that your customers get the same health and safety assurances that a traditional restaurant provides?
