Always separate your foods. Meats, vegetables, and all of your other foods should be separated from your meats and anything else that can or may contaminate your foods.

Make sure all of your meats and perishable items temp correctly so they do not get anyone Ill. One other big importance is CONSTANTLY wash your hands.
Personal Hygiene.
Okay.. you are walking into a restraunt and zur Host/Hostess sits you down at your table. Your waiter comes up with long greasy hair, put up in a bun. His fingernails are long, and unclean. Would you really want ANYONE like this serving you your food? I think not. Personal hygiene is good to be kept clean when dealing with customers. Body odor is also is a big no-no, as well as brushing those teeth in your mouth.
