THE USERS
I am writing this memo to inform you about a new
decision that has been made by my office. Since
the beginning of the year, it has to my attention
that the cooks and everyone else who uses the

kitchen has not been concerned about its
cleanliness. There have been many cases of
untidiness because, on several occasions, those
who use the kitchen do not bother to clean it
frequently. In this regard, my office has come up
with a new directive which requires that all the
kitchen staff should be responsible for its
cleanliness.

As experts, you are aware that at Acumen
Restaurant, we pride ourselves in quality service-
delivery thanks to our high hygiene standards. It
should, therefore, be the responsibility of
everyone to ensure the cleanliness of the kitchen
at all times. Although we have a team of
cleaners, no one has an authority to untidy the
kitchen and leave it without cleaning it. This has
been disastrous because it has been exposing a

large number of our staff and clients to hazards.
Without cleanliness, we cannot achieve anything
since our success entirely depends on it. I would
like to direct all the kitchen users to be aware
that it should be their responsibility to clean the
kitchen during and after using it. Although I
emphasize on a responsible usage of the kitchen
facilities, I would also like to point out that no
employee should unnecessarily spill water or
