What should you check before serving a hot beverage?

• A. Correct drink, temperature, lid, and presentation.
• B. Only the correct cup size.
• C. Temperature only.
• D. Only the lid.

Answer: (A)

Before serving a hot beverage, you verify four things: the drink matches the customer's order, the temperature is appropriate for a hot beverage, the lid is securely in place to prevent spills, and the presentation is neat and aligned with standards. This combination protects accuracy, safety, and the customer experience. Focusing on only one aspect, like cup size or temperature or the lid alone, can lead to delivering the wrong drink, a spill, or a sloppy impression.
