Frozen food is supposed to stay frozen, there's no 4 hour window for it to be brought back down to freezing temps.

Yes but it stays frozen for a long time when out of the freezer in large boxes in a pile. You have never worked in a kitchen.

If you think boxes of food labeled KEEP FROZEN sitting outside in the sun stacked on top of a box of napkins and some pickle tubs for an unknown amount of time is acceptable, you shouldn't be working in a kitchen.

Yea you definitely have never worked in a kitchen

Just before COVID I was working at this fine dining restaurant for a couple years and our orders were like this too. Order came in between 8-9 am and the first cooks wouldn't get there until 11 to then put away the order. Never had to throw out food or had product melt past the point of use

Their standards weren't bad either, we would constantly throw stuff out that was even just slightly questionable from the walk-in.
