take out the papers and the trash
The more I read this, the more awesome it gets. A letter from the kitchen manager at my production kitchen (though luckily NOT addressing me or Little Victory) about cleaning duties when you leave the kitchen. Simple. Common. Sense.
...and yet, people seem to keep screwing it up:
Again my fellow kitchen users I have to address that kitchen not being
cleaned properly. Remember there is a 35.oo per hour fee to clean the
kitchen and I guarantee it will take me a few hours. Now if you don't want
to pay the cleaning fee than my suggestion would be to do the following.
The kitchen cleaning instruction are told to all of you upon signing the
agreement and they are clearly posted on the refrigerator.
We provide all the cleaning supplies that you need and we do not charge for
your cleaning time so that you will not take any short cuts. We can start
charging for cleaning time if you would like. I don't have a problem with
that, I thought we were being nice by not charging but it seems like nice
isn't working. :(
ALL surfaces need to be washed and sanitized even if you did not use it. The
reason being is that food particles float in the air and then land. So even
though you didn't use the steam kettle for instances maybe you used the
mixer or the tilt skillet that is right next to it. Do you see where I am
going here?
The floor needs to be swept and then washed even if you are only packing a
product. Don't be afraid to move the table or sweep under the stove you'd
be amazed at how many of your product pieces I have found in those little
nooks and crannies. This is a wonderful way to attract little critters. So
if that was your intention being the animal lover that I am I have to
discourage that in the kitchen. You can always save that stuff for your
house maybe they'll come visit you there.
Please wash the bathroom floors also. Why you ask?? Because while you are
in the kitchen making your goodies food is falling to the floor, which is
now stuck on your shoes. These goodies that you make end up on the bathroom
floor. So please take care of that also. I'm not asking you to clean the
toilets, although if you insist far be it from me to stop you.
When you wash down tables, pots, pans etc. remember these things have sides
and bottoms that food just loves to stick to. Please wash the entire item.
If you are using the refrigerator then you are touching the door and handles
with guess what?? food on your hands. This needs to be washed and sanitized
also.
The hand washing sinks and food washing sinks are only for those things if
you use them (and I hope you are) then you need to clean these also.
If you think I am a bitch then you can think that. If you can't clean the
kitchen according to the kitchen cleaning instructions then maybe this is
not the kitchen for you.
If any of this is unclear then please let me know and I'll go over it again
with you.
If you are not cleaning the kitchen properly then shame on you. What would
your mother think?
The kitchen bitch I mean witch.
