Which is the second priority in Canes' order of operations?

• A. Customers
• B. Clean
• C. Stock
• D. Prep

Answer: (B)

Prioritizing tasks to deliver fast, friendly service while maintaining a safe, welcoming environment. The top priority is focusing on the guests—greeting them, taking their order, and ensuring they feel attended to. After guests, cleanliness comes next because a clean area supports food safety, prevents accidents, and creates a positive experience that lets service run smoothly. Stock and prep remain important, but they should come after ensuring customers are cared for and the store is clean. In practice, you keep surfaces wiped, tables cleared, and spills addressed right away, then handle stocking and prepping as the pace allows.
