Ar...I clean them once a month and they are perfect. Are store opened 2 years ago and so far everything is running perfect. It takes time to make the store perfect. But at last your paycheck is nice and everyone is happy. hardest part of cleaning is the grill area but if you get help from everyone else to keep it clean it usually stays clean.. But I enjoy it.

Cleaning as shown in those photos requires shutting the grill off entirely and removing it from the smoekstack shroud, severely limiting (if not entirely preventing) food from being made during the procedure.<BR/><BR/>Stores set up cleaning rotations to handle these sorts of infrequent cleanings. Most of the McDonald's stores I've worked at had 2 grills and 2 fryers. Each would be on a rotation to be pulled from the smokestack shroud and cleaned behind on a rotating weekly schedule. Thus each one would be cleaned monthly. Missing a scheduled cleaning would mean it'd be two months, etc.<BR/><BR/>While it does look like this particular task has been skipped a while, I wouldn't guess that it's "never" been cleaned. Depending on the store's volume of sales that much buildup could be the result of only two to three months.<BR/><BR/>While I agree that it's certainly gross to see this, it's not quite the health hazard it looks like. Food never gets anywhere close to the underside back of a grill, and the entire front and cooking sufrace are routinely cleaned several times a day. Pull your stove at home away from the wall if you're curious. It won't look as bad as these pictures, but you still won't be hungry after you see it. And yet your stove was (and still is) perfectly safe to cook on. Same with the grill at McDonald's.keith twombleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793560639843803002noreply@blogger.com
