Where is the empty can storage located?

• A. Next to the dump station.
• B. Behind the walk-in cooler.
• C. Behind the bar.
• D. In the back office.

Answer: (A)

Placing empty can storage where the dishwashing and waste flow is most efficient keeps operations smooth and sanitary. Next to the dump station is ideal because staff can quickly and cleanly transfer empties to a dedicated area that's close to where waste and rinsing occur, minimizing trips and maintaining a tidy service line.

Other spots disrupt this flow or clutter guest areas: behind the walk-in cooler isn’t ideal for waste-related storage and can slow access to inventory; behind the bar puts empties in a high-traffic, guest-facing space and creates clutter; in the back office isolates the storage from the people who need it during service, causing unnecessary steps.
