Do not allow ice scoop handles to come in contact with ice
Do not handle drink cups around top of cup or lip area
Cups should always be upside down for dispensing
Wash, rinse, and sanitize all utensils and surfaces that touch food every four hours or anytime they become contaminated
Receiving and Storing

Preparing and Holding

Fill ice bin with ice from ice machine
Ice bin must have ice covering the bottom cold plate at all times. This cools the syrup and water reducing the escape of carbonization and melting of ice in the drink which causes the drink to taste flat.

Ice scoop handle must not come in contact with ice
