For a Coffee Shop & Cafe that serves food, the display case is a second kitchen with its own rules. These 7 checks keep it safe and selling. Date-label every item you put out, check allergen information is correct and visible, and confirm the case holds chilled items cold. Remove anything past its date. Then work the case as a shop: fill it for the serving period ahead, top it up as items sell, rotate cakes and pastries so the oldest goes first, and move short-dated stock to the front to sell before it turns.
Keeping the display safe and full. You date-label every item, check allergen information is visible and correct, confirm the case keeps chilled items cold, and pull anything past its date. Then you fill for the period ahead, rotate oldest-first, and move short-dated items to the front.
Oldest first. New stock goes behind existing stock, and short-dated items move to the front so staff sell them before the date passes. Rotating this way turns near-date stock into sales instead of waste.
Customers buying from a self-select case cannot ask the kitchen mid-rush. Correct, visible allergen information on every item is how they choose safely, and it is what an inspector expects to see on a food display.
