3 Signs That a Restaurant is Dirty

Подробнее о видео

Here are 3 warning signs you need to pay attention to to gauge the cleanliness of a restaurant. 

1. The Menus
If your menu is sticky, whether it's the printed kind or one of those iPad things, it's a red flag. 

It takes moments to wipe things down between customers, so no excuse. 

2. The Bathrooms
Yeah, you know pretty fast if a bathroom is a war zone, but pay attention to the details in the clean ones, too. 

If the soap dispensers are empty, that's the biggest red flag of all. How are employees washing their hands?

3. The Shakers & Condiments
If you've ever grabbed a grimy salt shaker, you know how gross it is. Just like the menus, these should be wiped down between every guest. 

There's no excuse other than laziness. 


Before you come in here saying, "Oh, that's all front of house stuff, but the kitchen is really clean", just stop. 

Proper training and commitment to cleanliness come from the top. If the boss can't be bothered with the stuff the customers see, then why would they care about cleaning the stuff behind the scenes?

Bosses need to do better. Period.
