Key insights
Fire extinguishers should be checked at least semi-annually, with quarterly checks being ideal, to ensure they are operational in case of an emergency. A 2025 expiration date is acceptable if the current date is before April 2025.
Mistakes to avoid
Continuing to use chipped dishes can lead to guest dissatisfaction and potential safety concerns. It's often more practical to replace an entire set of dishes rather than trying to find a matching replacement for a single chipped item.
