Selected answer:how it looks in continuing practice
Explanation:
I think what it means for you here is that it's not enough to look correct (by the regulations, I presume) only in certain "special presentation" situations, but at all times during food delivery, preparation, cooking, serving (and even the waste handling afterwards).

This is not about food products but shows how the phrase is understood in general:

Choosing which system to use was derived from three main points.
• Operational appearance
• Complexity of installation and maintenance
• Cost

Operational appearance is basically how it would look in operation. Semaphore or lighted signals are available in almost any system but allows the most visually appealing aspect of signaling to visitors and crews.
