Management & HACCPQuestion 267 of 320
Which task is a core duty of the person in charge (PIC) during operating hours?
a.Personally cooking every order
b.Handling all cash transactions
c.Ensuring employees are following food safety practices and excluding ill employees when required
d.Designing the restaurant's advertising
Explanation
The person in charge must actively ensure that employees follow required food safety practices, such as proper handwashing, cooking, and cooling, and must know when to restrict or exclude an ill employee. The PIC's job is oversight of food safety, not doing every task personally. Cash handling and advertising are unrelated to this Food Code duty.
