Receiving & StorageQuestion 158 of 320
A manager schedules deliveries during the slowest part of the day and inspects each one immediately. Why is this a good receiving practice?
a.It guarantees the lowest prices
b.Staff can promptly check temperatures and condition, then move TCS food into proper storage before it warms up
c.It lets the driver leave without a signature
d.It avoids the need to check temperatures at all
Explanation
Scheduling deliveries during slow periods lets trained staff inspect temperatures and condition right away and quickly move TCS food into refrigeration or freezing before it enters the danger zone. It does not set prices, it does not eliminate the need for signatures or paperwork, and it certainly does not remove the requirement to check temperatures, prompt inspection is the whole point.
