I keep a monitor on in my office full time with 4 camera views of the restaurant. Obviously I can't stare at it all day but if I do see an employee doing something wrong including improper personal hygiene, I will call them up and correct them immediately. A statistic I learned many years ago and I use in every class taught is that 95% of ALL FOOD BORNE ILLNESSES IN A RESTAURANT COMES FROM UNCLEAN HANDS. Therefore my goal is to get all employees in the habit of washing their hands EVERYTIME they touch something different. I don't condone gloves as it too often gives an employee the feeling of immunity to bacteria. Talk about a full time job!
