Stainless ice bucket & scoop hygiene

Applies to: the large stainless-steel ice bucket/bin at the bar and the ice scoop used with it.

  1. Empty the bucket completely on a set schedule (do not keep topping up old ice indefinitely).
  2. Wash the interior and rim with hot water and food-safe detergent, reaching every corner and seam.
  3. Sanitize the bucket at label dilution and let it air-dry.
  4. Respect the sanitizer's full contact time before refilling with ice.
  5. Wash and sanitize the scoop the same way; store it handle-up outside the ice.
  6. If anything falls into the ice (glass, hands, a dropped scoop), discard the affected ice immediately and, for glass, empty and wash the whole bucket.
