In this topic I have learned that we need to remind the students, and keep reinforcing, all the sanitation practices.
Team work is most important in the restaurant world because a better outcome can be achieved as a group not as an individual
Giving students timelines that incorporate ServeSafe practices act as a reinforcement of safe kitchen operations. It also serves as a constant reminder regarding the use of kitchen logs that may be required in the industry.
I deffinitly like to utilize the students experience ( can be based on expectations) regarding the quality of the food they ordered, purchased and then received, their experiences with sanitation practices in certain places, having a student be the class / lab sanitation supervisor can help the student build leadership skills and reinforce what sanitation standards should be while holding those who did a great or sub par job during clean up responsible
I believe it is imperative to give students real examples of sanitation practices in lab on a constant basis. It may seem like common sense, but once everyone is in this loud and hot environment, common sense can be lost. I like to reinforce the importance of teamwork, leadership, and ethical responsibility during each class. I also find it very helpful to have family meal or a team meeting at the end of each day to discuss positives and areas of improvement. I let my students know that improvement is something we consistently strive for each and every day, even if you have done something multiple times. Broaden the senses and elevate the experience.
