They go on heat treat for a few hours everyday to pastueurise the milk, then they're taken apart for a few hours once a week and completely sanitised from inside out and the pastuerised milk is thrown out. When it's hot out and they pull too many ice creams or shakes they get air trapped in their barrells and become really slow and can stop freezing or overfreeze the product.

Yes. We take the temperature of every freezer and chiller, three times a day and verify with calibrated air and product probes. Every 4 hours, every single tong, tray, tool is cleaned out and thorougly disinfected. Every night, every single sauce bottle, ketchup dispenser, food holder, is totally emptied, sauce discarded and sanitised (that's pretty hardcore).

Every single day, the first time we cook on each grill, we check the programming time, the temperature, we cook full runs of each type of meat (the maximum number of meat we could potentially cook on that grill) and once they're cooked we take the temperature of the patties, and destructive test them to verifiy that the meat will definitely cook well that day. That costs a lot of money in food waste and time but we still do that every single day. It's actually quite excessive but at my store we do this religiously every day and managers oversee and complete the process to make sure. Could you imagine cooking a test dinner in your oven first then tearing it apart and taking the temperature to make sure your oven is working first and then cooking a new one each day? That's basically what we do.

The items marketed as 'healthy options' are worse than you'd think. Deep fried chicken goes into the wraps, the veggie patties are deep fried, and the salad dressings are filled with rubbish.

The meat however, is good and is freshly grilled. It's 100% local beef flank and doesn't even use any binders like egg or rusk that you'd find even in the 'good brands' from the supermarket. The milk is from 'organic' farms. The breakfast menu uses real free range eggs. The chicken however, is pre-cooked and breaded before arriving to us frozen from Thailand.

I've eaten KFC, Dominoes, Subway and Nandos inside our office on many an occasion and sometimes get a takeout pizza for my break :D

We sometimes get entire schools of children coming in. We seat about 300 and we can have one order of 200+ kids come in. The worst thing is they don't know what they want until they get to the counter. We once had an order of 200 veggie deli sandwiches without a warning (they're the more inconvenient item to make, along with filet-o-fish). Panic in the kitchen!
