Frequently asked questions
Does this satisfy FDA Food Code Person In Charge (PIC) duties?
It covers active managerial control duties but not all PIC obligations (employee health, training, allergen knowledge). Pair with a separate PIC verification.
Can a shift lead complete this or does the manager have to?
Most operators allow shift leads to complete the open/close shift; the on-duty manager signs off. State health codes may require a Certified Food Protection Manager onsite.
