How often should equipment be calibrated for optimal performance, according to Zaxby's standards?

Calibration of equipment is crucial for maintaining optimal performance, food safety, and consistency in operations. According to Zaxby's standards, calibrating equipment yearly strikes a balance between effective monitoring and resource management.

Yearly calibration ensures that equipment remains within acceptable performance thresholds without overburdening staff or incurring excessive costs related to frequent calibration checks. This frequency allows for adequate time to observe any variances that may indicate a need for adjustment but does not require constant oversight that more frequent intervals would entail.

This practice supports operational efficiency while ensuring that any discrepancies in equipment performance can be addressed before they impact food quality or safety. Thus, a yearly calibration schedule aligns with industry best practices for optimizing equipment reliability while also supporting sustainable operations.
