A restaurant's reputation can be determined by a number of factors, including the level of hygiene that is maintained. In addition to protecting the health and safety of both employees and customers, restaurant hygiene is critical in determining how a place is perceived. Everyone prefers a clean, hygienic restaurant that serves delicious meals and has a pleasant atmosphere. Meanwhile, a video from an employee of a Domino's restaurant in Japan has gone viral. In the short clip, one of the employees picks his nose and wipes his finger on the pizza dough.
Domino's took note of this and apologized for the incident. They said the video was shot at the store after hours and no pizza dough was used. They added that all the remaining dough had been thrown away. A part-time employee at a Domino's location in Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, allegedly captured the footage around 2 a.m. on Monday, according to Japanese times.
