1
Do not change recipe and ingredients
If you are assigned the task to prepare food at a mass level (for lots people) and have been doing it for some time, keep the ingredients and recipes that way. Use the same recipe and ingredients if you do not know how the final product will turn out to be. Especially, if you are working at community center, you have to follow the same standards that you have been following.
Community centers are usually lenient about their standards, but using the same ingredients is the key to preparing good food. Ingredient quality can become a serious issue if you purchase it from different vendors. Stick to the existing seller if you want to maintain the quality of ingredients. -
2
Allow yourself enough time while preparing food
Allow yourself enough time when you begin to prepare the food. Mass-produced food has to be checked several times before it is done. Keep calm and focus on preparation. One silly mistake with ingredients can taint the entire meal. Since time factor is very important in mass food production, you can start preparation well before the actual deadline or the time food has to be served. -

Keep your equipment clean and in working condition
If you are using electronic equipment in the production process, you have to keep a check on its maintenance and quality. Do not let the equipment go out of order. -

Keep the facility clean
The place where you cook food has to be neat and clean all the time. If you are working in a clean environment, things will remain fine. Quality conscious people pay close attention to cleanliness of the place where food is prepared. Cleanliness of the facility will make sure that all your ingredients are clean and hygienic.
