Because it is a retail establishment, and as such bound by the laws in the US related to EPA and chemical disposal laws, the restaurant must provide a secure receptacle for toxic or potentially harmful chemicals.
Many restaurants are switching over to the new biodegradable cleaning agents to eliminate problems with this.
Store According to the MSDS for the prduct. Most cleaning chemicals are supposed to be stored away from ignition souces and segregated from the rest of your invetory(in a closet).

There are advantages and disadvantages to storing in alphabetical order. Generally you want to segregate chemicals according to type rather than name. Acids and bases usually should not be stored together. Oxidizers and combustibles should not be stored together. You get the idea; in general - don't store chemicals together with other chemicals that they will react with violently. If you store strictly alphabetically you could wind up with acetic acid being stored with ammonia - which I do not think you would want to do. Once the chemicals are segregated according to incompatibility, it might be good to organize by alphabetical order so that someone looking for a particular chemical can find it more easily.
Chemicals contained in storage buildings are generally those that are controlled substance or hazardous materials. They should be handled with care and stored according to regulations for safety reasons.
An appropriate step to take when storing incompatible chemicals is to keep the chemicals stored in different locations. For example, bleach and ammonia need to be stored some distance away from each other.
I've heard of this happening in enclosed spaces where chemicals are stored. If there are corrosive and reactive chemicals in the air of the storage area, they will react with the metal. Ensure all chemicals are stored in airtight containers so that they do not evaporate or disperse into the air. This will mean the chemicals last longer as well.
