When is the first filter cycle completed?

The first filter cycle is typically completed half an hour before opening. This timing allows staff adequate opportunity to ensure that the equipment is functioning properly and that all necessary preparations for service are completed before customers arrive. The completion of the filter cycle at this point helps to ensure that the cooking oil is clean, which is crucial for food quality and safety.

Choosing this timeframe also aligns with operational efficiency, enabling staff to perform any additional setup tasks, such as preparing food items and arranging the service area, without the pressure of an immediate opening rush. This promotes a smoother transition into the operational hours of the business, resulting in a better service experience for customers.

While other options suggest different timings, they do not allow for the same level of readiness or alignment with operational procedures effectively. For instance, opening time would not provide any window for preparation, while an hour before would push cooking operations too close to the opening. Two hours after closing does not contribute to pre-opening activities and would likely misalign with service standards.
