3 signs a restaurant might not be maintaining proper hygiene:
1. Dusty payment machines or iPads, messy order counters, or sticky menus 🤢
2. Unclean bathrooms (bad smell, stains, or poor maintenance) 🚫
3. Poorly maintained table condiments (like ketchup bottles that are sticky, dirty, or not refilled properly)
If a restaurant overlooks these simple, visible details—things every guest will notice—it likely reflects how little attention is given to what you can’t see.
If they don’t care about the front, don’t expect the kitchen to be clean. Stay aware—hygiene is the bare minimum.
