Cutting out the bottom is brilliant!
Funny to see this topic cuz I always joke about us having the cleanest cans in the county.
We hose them out every night (on our clean up list) Once a week they have to literally scrub it with a green scratchy inside and out. We do the same with the mop bucket, dust pan and brooms. They don’t mind doing it everyday because they aren’t filthy when cleaning it…
As for the staples we have a check in manager sheet before each shift- staples are on there…along with restocking reg. tape, towel water, extra tea, cooler temp, Bag in the box, co2, blah blah blah blah!
Making and USING lists is the best solution.
