Complete only work you can perform safely and consistently, protect the customer’s property and check the result carefully. Present the finished work for confirmation and record any agreed adjustment.

Adapt the plan to local food-business registration, allergen declarations, nutrition or weight labelling, approved premises and the spices and retail channels customers use in that market.
