Was able to observe drill. Employees handled it well. Recommend that management also discuss with employees to wipe down order screens and re-emphasize the need for handle wipe down during these drills to prevent potential contamination of gloves.**New product on fry side includes raw chicken. Discussed potential for cross contamination with manager and importance of preventing glove and surface contamination in this area; as fry side also handles ready to eat items.
