In a recall scenario, why should the operation keep purchase records and product lot information organized in advance?
a.So the office wall has a tidy binder to show a visiting owner or guest
b.So it can quickly identify and pull affected lots when a recall is announced
c.Because suppliers require handwritten duplicates of each delivery invoice on file
d.So the bookkeeper can divide the week's tip pool across the shifts more quickly
Explanation
Organized invoices and lot or code information let a manager quickly determine whether the recalled lot is in the building and remove it before it can be served. Speed matters in a recall, especially a Class I recall involving a serious health risk. Suppliers do not require handwritten duplicates of invoices, and neither office decor nor tip accounting helps anyone find an affected lot.
