π½οΈ Food Safety Starts With You: A Message to All Delivery Drivers
As a delivery driver, you're not just bringing food β you're delivering trust.
Every time a customer orders, they expect their food to arrive fresh, hot (or cold), and safe to eat. That's why food safety isn't optional β itβs essential.
π Why Food Safety Matters:
β Bacteria grows fast: Hot food that cools down or cold food that warms up can enter the "danger zone" (40Β°Fβ140Β°F), where bacteria multiplies quickly.
β Customer health is at risk: Mishandled food can cause foodborne illness. One bad delivery could make someone seriously sick.
β Your reputation is on the line: Unsafe deliveries hurt your ratings, tips, and future opportunities.

How You Can Protect the Food:
