01
Outfit
The gesture: Remove apron before entering toilets. Always. Your apron must NEVER touch the seat.
Avoid: The "I'm in a rush, I keep it". Apron becomes a direct vector toilet → kitchen. HACCP basic.

Your 3 minutes in the toilet decide the health of 80 customers tonight.
Context
You're the last line of defense between the toilet and the sauce. In the kitchen, we talk HACCP — here, REAL service life. 3 mins, 7 steps, and you're back to the pass clean.

02
Bowl + paper
The gesture: Seat down if found that way. Paper on seat if seat is wet. Speed + cleanliness.
Avoid: The squat "don't touch". You tense up, return to service with a knotted back. Not pro.
03
No phone
The gesture: Phone stays in the kitchen or pocket. In the toilet, focus 90 secs max. Service continues without you.
Avoid: The Insta glance = 8 mins of absence without seeing it. Your floor manager waits.
04
Clean wipe
The gesture: Folded paper, clean jet. If the bowl has a trace, wipe it. You know how annoying it is when someone leaves the next to deal with it.
Avoid: The clog: no big wads. You clog mid-service, your night collapses.
05
Flush + double check
The gesture: Flush. Look. If not clean, double flush. The dining room uses this toilet in 12 mins.
Avoid: The "it's fine" oversight. For you maybe. The customer who enters next is the one eating your dish in 30 mins.
06
Seat + door
The gesture: Lower. Exit. Open the door with a tissue if possible. You return to the kitchen, touching dozens of surfaces in a minute.
Avoid: The full-hand grab then dish direct. Direct vector. The customer eats your germs.
07
Hands — HACCP protocol
The gesture: Hot water. Soap. 60 SECONDS (double the general public). Front, back, between fingers, nails, wrists. Disposable paper dry. Back to kitchen.
Avoid: Drying on the clean apron. Your apron isn't a towel — it becomes a new vector if you use it that way.
💡 Tip: If soap is missing or the fountain is broken — major health risk. You MUST report to the manager before next service.
