Under regulations, cooked food must be covered to deter insects, placed on tables 60 centimeters off the ground and that any food additives used have government registration numbers.


Ice used for drinks must be clean and kept in containers with lids and scoops used to dispense cubes. Nothing else can be stored in the ice buckets.

Eating utensils must be placed handle-up in clean and airy containers while garbage and food waste must be collected and hygienically eliminated.

Finally, all prices must be displayed clearly. (PCPR)
