How many minutes can waffle fries sit in the dump pan before being packaged?

Waffle fries can sit in the dump pan for a maximum of 5 minutes before packaging. This time frame is important for maintaining the quality and safety of the food. Allowing the fries to sit for too long can lead to a decline in taste and texture, as they may lose their crispness and warm temperature. Five minutes strikes a balance, ensuring the fries have time to drain excess oil without compromising their freshness. Keeping this time limit helps ensure that team members deliver consistent and high-quality food, which aligns with Chick-fil-A’s commitment to customer satisfaction.
