In case of a water supply disruption, which type of ware is recommended to continue serving?

• A. Reusable containers
• B. Single-use disposable plates, forks, knives, and spoons
• C. Metal utensils only
• D. No alt in service

Answer: (B)

When water is disrupted, the priority is to avoid the need for washing and sanitizing utensils. Using single-use disposable plates, forks, knives, and spoons allows you to serve safely without relying on a water-based cleaning process. After service, you can discard them, which minimizes contamination risk and keeps operations moving despite the outage. Reusable containers would still require washing, which isn’t feasible with limited or no water. Metal utensils alone don’t solve the issue because they also need cleaning and sanitizing. No alternative in service isn’t appropriate when you can reasonably switch to disposables to maintain safety.
