For the third consecutive year since 2009, McDonald's Singapore has already welcomed over 5000 participants in its' free Open Doors kitchen tour.
Thanks to the invitation from OMY and McDonald's, I too attended the kitchen tour at their King Albert Park outlet last Saturday.
After a brief welcome and introduction by the kitchen tour Ambassadors, we were first brought to the store room which is surprisingly spacious and airy.
It is here where we got to know that McDonald's only work with suppliers who do not harm the environment. This is comforting to know because every little effort counts!
We also learnt that the inventories were used based on the first-in-first-out (FIFO) system.
In layman terms, this simply means the items acquired first will be used or sold first.
(Those with Accounting background should be very familiar with this)
Also, for safety reasons, the heavier items are put on the lower shelves while the lighter ones go on top. This is to minimize the risk of someone being hurt by falling items.
I am delighted to see a real life example of what I have learnt about previously from my Business Fundamental class!
A company's biggest asset is it's staff so I am glad to know that McDonald's did not overlook this aspect of workplace safety!
