• Opportunity seeking – Entrepreneurs have a good eye for spotting business
opportunities and acts on these opportunities appropriately.
• Risk-taking - Entrepreneur are known for taking calculated risks and doing tasks
that are moderately challenging.
• Demand for efficiency and quality - Entrepreneur see to it that the business
meets or exceeds existing standards of excellence and exerts efforts to improve
past performance and do things better. They set high but realistic standards.

The study of the business environment in a particular location has far-reaching and
long-term effects on a small or micro enterprise’s viability. In fact, business ideas and
opportunities are partly shaped or determined by the business location. Unless it is possible
to migrate to more favourable locations, the ideas and opportunities for business will
oftentimes be delimited to the surrounding areas.
The business environment consists of both the tangible and intangible factors that
affect either the external or internal business operations. They may include the land area
available for economic zones, the physical layout and barriers such as rivers, parks or lakes,
and building obstructions as well as the transportation network; all of which are considered
tangible factors. They also include the demography of clients and suppliers, the competitors
in the locale/area and the available technology for production. The intangible factors, on the
other hand, include the sub-culture, industry trends, economic and government activity or the
political situations in the area.

Cleanliness is very vital in every kitchen where food is cared for, prepared, cooked,
and served. In order to avoid food contamination, kitchen tools, equipment and other
utensils used in the preparation of foods as well as its premises should be cleaned,
sanitized, and store properly after each use.
Cleaning and sanitizing procedures must be part of the standard operating
procedures that make up your food safety program. Improperly cleaned and sanitized
surfaces allow harmful microorganisms to be transferred from one food to another.
Cleaning is the process of removing food and other types of soil from a surface,
such as a dish, glass, or cutting board. Cleaning is done with a cleaning agent that
removes food, soil, or other substances. The right cleaning agent must be selected
because not all cleaning agents can be used on food-contact surfaces. (A food-contact
surface is the surface of equipment or utensil that food normally comes into contact.) For
example, glass cleaners, some metal cleaners, and most bathroom cleaners cannot be
used because they might leave an unsafe residue on the food contact surface. The label
should indicate if the product can be used on a food-contact surface. The right cleaning
agent must also be selected to make cleaning easy.
Cleaning Compound
Other chemicals used for cleaning and/or sanitizing kitchen equipment and utensils are
the following:
1. ammonia
2. dish washing liquid
3. chlorine
4. carbolic acid
5. timsen
6. disinfectants
7. soap
Load it up.
1. Scrape and Pre-rinse – soiled equipment surfaces are scraped and rinsed with
warm water to remove loose food soils.
2. Cleaning Cycle – the removal of residual food soils from equipment surfaces is
based on the manipulation of the four basic cleaning factors and the method of
cleaning. Typically, alkaline chemical solutions are used for the cleaning cycle.
3. Rinse – rinse all surfaces with cold to hot water, depending on the temperature of
the cleaning cycle, to thoroughly remove all remaining chemical solution and food
soil residues.
4. Acid Rinse – a mild acid rinse of the equipment neutralizes any alkaline residues left
and removes any mineral soil present.
5. Sanitize – all equipment surfaces are rinsed or flooded with a sanitizing agent.
6. Both time and chemical concentration are critical for optimum results.
✓ Time – the longer a cleaning solution remains in contact with the equipment surface,
the greater the amount of food soil that is removed. More time in contact with the soil
reduces the chemical concentration requirements.
✓ Water – minerals in hard water can reduce the effectiveness of some detergents or
sanitizers. Water pH ranges generally from pH5-8.5. However, highly acidic water
may require additional buffering agents. Water used for cleaning and sanitizing must
be potable and pathogen free.
1. Range
a. Remove all burnt sediments and wipe grease from top of range after each
use.
b. Scrape grease from curbs and openings hinges.
c. When cool, wash top of range
d. Run oiled cloth over top of range
e. Clean oven by removing grates, scraping off food deposits, washing and
drying.
f. Keep burners clean. Gas burners can be soaked and scrubbed with stiff
brush while electric burners should be cleaned with a brush or with a damp
cloth.
g. Before replacing, rub with oil-damped cloth.
2. Dishwashing machine
a. Remove strainer pans, wash and stock outside machine until next use.
b. Scrub inside frequently with stiff brush.
c. Remove and clean the wash and rinse arms and fits daily to remove foreign
particles.
d. Wash tables and top of machine
e. Clean nozzles.
f. Do a special periodic cleaning in hard water area.
3. Slicers
a. Clean immediately after using, especially after slicing vegetables and nuts.
b. Remove all parts to clean
c. Dry and cover knives after cleaning with oil-damped cloth.
d. Wash carriage slides thoroughly.
e. Wipe outside with cloth.
f. Clean table and pedestal under slicers.
g. Replace guard after cleaning.
4. Refrigerator
a. Wipe up spilled foods immediately
b. Wash inside shelves and trays at least twice a week with baking soda.
c. Rinse and dry thoroughly
d. Flush drains weekly
Sanitizing - is done using heat, radiation, or chemicals. Heat and chemicals are commonly
used as a method for sanitizing in a restaurant than radiation. The item to be sanitized must
first be washed properly before it can be properly sanitized. Some chemical sanitizers, such
as chlorine and iodine, react with food and soil and so will be less effective on a surface that
has not been properly cleaned.
Methods of Sanitizing
1. Thermal Sanitizing. It involves the use of hot water or steam.
There are three methods of using heat to sanitize surfaces –
steam, hot water, and hot air. Hot water is the most common
method used in restaurants. If hot water is used in the third
compartment of a three-compartment sink, it must be at least
171 F (77 C). If a high temperature ware washing machine is
used to sanitize cleaned dishes, the final sanitizing rinse must
be at least 180 F (82 C). For stationary rack, single
temperature machines, it must be at least 165oF (74 C).
Cleaned items must be exposed to these temperatures for at
least 30 seconds.
Don’t you know that heat sanitizing has several advantages over chemical sanitizing agents?
It’s because it:
1 Pretend it has a glass door and that everyone is going to see what’s inside.
2 Remove all the equipment and scrub shelves with soapy water.
3 Think about what you reach most often and make sure it gets a position that’s easy
to reach.
4 Take a cabinet full of glasses and line them up by color. Make sure all of the front
are facing out and straight. (Jeff Lewis-Style)
5 Take a step back after one shelf is done and make someone else look at what
you’ve done.
6 They should be stored in a clean dry place adequately protected against vermin
and other sources of contamination
7 Cups, bowls, and glasses must be inverted for storage.
8 When not stored in closed cupboards or lockers, utensils and containers must be
covered or inverted whenever possible. Utensils must be stored on the
bottom shelves of open cabinets below the working top level.
9 Racks, trays and shelves must be made of materials that are imperious, corrosive-
resistant, non-toxic, smooth, durable and resistant to chipping.
10 Drawers must be made of the same materials and kept clean. Full-lined drawers
are not acceptable, but the use of clean and removable towels for lining drawers is
acceptable.

Interpretation
A lower score means a ‘weak’ performance and a higher score translates to a ‘strong’
performance on a particular competency. A ‘weak’ performance should be regarded as a
challenge or an opportunity for improvement rather than a cause for worry. Improving a
competency entails enough determination, correct practice and strategies, and time for
maturation.
