By Enid Hinton


You've always wanted to be a restaurant or kitchen supervisor but there is special training that is needed before most businesses will hire you. Food manager classes Dallas Fort Worth schools have to offer may be just the ticket to your success. Taking the courses will have you well on your way to being knowledgeable about safety and sanitation in a restaurant kitchen and outlying areas in the building.

The courses will teach students the very basics needed to know to safely serve customers your menu items. This certification requirement is demanded by many businesses and having it will make you much more marketable as a prospective employee.

Attendees can learn the extreme importance of good personal hygiene in this business. Wearing a hair net when necessary, washing hands often, and always wearing shoes with closed toes are some basic steps that are necessary in maintaining a clean and germ-free service area. Simple measures such as wearing rubber-soled boots and shoes, putting out warning signs near slippery surfaces and always having covers over light bulbs in coolers and freezers are part of keeping the area safe for employees.

Students at these management courses will also learn how to deal with allergies. Many customers will not be able to eat some of the items prepared in your kitchen. The importance of not allowing what an individual is allergic to anywhere near or on his plate is covered. Dealing with an allergy emergency in the restaurant will also be discussed.

Help prevent illnesses by learning how to keep a kitchen clean and properly sanitized. Being able to recognize poisoning symptoms and the relationship between how a kitchen is kept is an issue that is also covered. Parasites, viruses, bacteria and pathogens are defined and discussed.

The effect of temperature on food is also studied. Thermostats in freezers and coolers need to be at specific temperatures to keep items fresh. The correct methods of cooling down cooked items and placement in the freezer or cooler is also studied. Buffet temps must also be kept at certain levels to keep items appealing and edible.

It is in the preparation of items when many are cross-contaminated. Simple measures such as color coded cutting boards and designated areas in the coolers and freezers will keep this contamination from occurring. Dating and rotating stock will be of great assistance in preventing food spoilage.

Many do not realize the importance of properly receiving goods. Inspecting deliveries can assist in preventing future problems. Health inspections will sporadically occur to ensure that your facility is following proper procedures in storing these newly-delivered items. If a company has too many demerits, it could potentially be shut down or be subject to a follow-up inspection with a time frame in which violations must be fixed.

There are many subjects that are covered in these courses including pest control, proper storage, kitchen equipment maintenance, staff training and proper cleaning methodology. When this course is completed, a supervisor will have the skills and know-how to manage a kitchen and restaurant facility and deal with specific or unique situations. This is all part of becoming a proactive professional who has the knowledge to have a smooth and stress-free operation.
