How long after dropping Bird should you switch to a new basket?

Switching to a new basket 45 seconds after dropping Bird is the correct practice within Raising Cane's procedures to ensure optimal food quality and safety. After this time frame, the food can start to cool down and may not maintain the ideal temperature and texture that customers expect. The 45-second mark strikes a balance between ensuring that food preparation continues efficiently while upholding the company's standards for freshness and quality. Timeliness in this process is crucial as it helps maintain the integrity of the food served and aligns with operational efficiency practices, which are essential for a fast-casual dining experience.
