NYC Regulations (Article 81)Question 232 of 240
If a certified supervisor leaves the establishment for the rest of the day and no other certified supervisor is present, the operation is:
a.Fully compliant as long as food is cold
b.In violation of the supervisor-present requirement
c.Exempt from the supervisor rule after noon
d.Compliant because the certificate was earned once
Explanation
Operating with no certified supervisor present violates the Article 81 requirement that a certified supervisor be on duty during all operating hours. Having earned a certificate at some point does not excuse an absence during operations.
