Unclean kitchens statistically result in more injuries like slips, trips, and falls which can be mitigated with an extensive monthly or quarterly deep cleaning.

Unlike the common belief that food-related illnesses are usually caused by the actual food, it is found that most food-related illnesses are the result of unsanitary food handling practices that stem from the sanitation of the facility. Also, note that if a food/sanitation illness is linked to your restaurant your establishment can be held liable.

The industry standards and best practices require a monthly to quarterly deep kitchen cleaning cadence, depending on the frequency with which your kitchen is used.
