Sample Tray
The first tray off the line, at each meal, is wrapped in plastic food
wrap and placed in the freezer for a minimum of 72 hours. Each
tray is marked with the date, day and meal information. If any
inmate complains of digestive problems related to food service, all
trays from the appropriate time period are sent to the Health
Department for testing. This procedure greatly reduces inmate
litigation.

FOOD SERVICE
EVALUATION
ABL Management's evaluation of our Food Service Programs is
completed by our District Managers and our Quality Control
Directors when they conduct on-site quality control checks and
Quality Control System Audits at each facility on a regularly
scheduled basis.
Our clients evaluate our Food Service Programs with the Food
Service Report that is sent every quarter to the assigned liaison at
each facility. The report is returned directly to the Chairman of
ABL Management, Inc., Mr. John D. Appleton.
Also, we request that the Food Service Director be invited to
attend the Department's Managers Meeting and the Classification
Meeting.
For evaluation of the Food Service Program by the inmates, this is
obtained by feedback from the Jail Staff at the Manager's Meeting
and the Classification Meeting. Also, we have a "Sample Meal
Quality Assessment Form" that could be implemented by the Jail
Administration.

EQUIPMENT
CARE AND

food service, ABL Management, Inc. recognizes the critical need
for a preventive maintenance program for equipment. All of our

CONSERVATION >
COST
SAVINGS >
Okaloosa County and ABL Management, Inc., we will train our
Food Service Personnel in energy conservation. Examples of this
training and our commitment to Energy Conservation are:
Following the Energy Star Program Guidelines.
Properly training employees to bring minor repairs to the
Food Service Director's attention before they become
major repairs.
Refrain from turning all the equipment on when they first
walk in the door. This should be done on an as needed
basis.
Turning equipment off when not in use.
Checking circuit breakers on equipment before requesting
the Maintenance Department
We also found that a savings to our clients goes hand in hand with
savings to ABL Management, Inc. Example: By turning the
temperature down on deep fryers during slow periods saves
electricity and prolongs the life of cooking oils.
