I can only tell you one thing with certainty I'd do differently.
I'd fine the people not following the rules. Not 500 warnings for every ticket issued. That created a culture of "oh what are they going to do?" and thats the driver, at least here in BC, as shown by 50+% of the transmissions happening in home gatherings.
Would it make a difference? I don't fucking know, I'm a chef.....but if all the food I send out tastes like shit, I have to find another job, so I don't think holding people in charge accountable is unreasonable. I totally understand a lot of things are out of their control, and a lot of things have been done right, but as someone who's expected to bat 1000 every day/night at work or I get shredded on the internet by some fucks that have no idea about anything to do with food, I have a low tolerance for failure of the things that are in your control.
