Food that is not stored or handled properly can result in serious, even deadly, illnesses. In fact, the World Health Organization reports that on average, 1,600,000 people get sick each day due to unsafe food. That’s why World Food Safety Day aims to promote food safety globally and celebrate the efforts being made to prevent foodborne illness.

As anyone in the restaurant space knows, each day is a mixture of busy periods and slow periods. Most businesses do their best to roll with these punches in order to stay afloat.

But did you know there’s a way to make the most of those inevitable ebbs and flows in demand?
