Introduction to All Beverages
Beverages are an important part of any meal, and they offer us a great
chance to upsell our products and increase sales.
The quality of beverages are as important to the customer as the food
items in their meals. We must make sure that they are received and stored
correctly to maintain the quality and shelf life.
