Top Products to Fast-track Staff Training

Top Products to Fast-track Staff Training

Have you ever wondered if it's called “training” because it seems never-ending, much like waiting for a train to pass when you’re running late? In 2019, restaurant employee turnover averaged 75%. The reasons may have changed since then, but the challenge remains. With nearly 3 out of 4 foodservice employees turning over in a year, expertise is continually being lost—meaning that constant training is required to replace it and keep operations running smoothly.

Today, we are going to showcase smart products that give you the power to fast-track your green recruits into productive employees that can help your business continue to produce consistent results.

"Paint-by-Numbers" Recipe Prep


Remember paint by numbers? Now we have paint by numbers for the kitchen! What better way to achieve consistency than by listing the recipe on the side of the prep vessel? Here are a few examples of personalization that Cambro has added to various measuring cups and containers to customize them to specific customer needs.

The Camliter on the left uses symbols to make it quick and easy for even the newest employee to use the pre-set ratio of ingredients for a perfectly consistent end-product. What recipes come to mind from your menu?





Quick to Learn, Quick to Cook


The Merrychef eikon® e1s is a compact and stylish high-speed oven that gets new employees producing consistent results in record time. A single counter-top appliance, this oven is styled for front-of-house and programmed to produce high quality results for every order, with a simple touch of an icon. The easytouch® icons allow lesser-skilled staff to produce professional quality results while minimizing training time and overcoming any language barriers. 

The Merrychef eikon e1s comes pre-programmed with menus ranging from paninis and French fries to pies. Ideal to rapidly cook, toast, and bake a wide choice of dishes from both fresh and frozen foods, the e1s cooks up to 10x faster than a conventional oven—and it’s ventless! See how it works here.

Why Choose Aluminum Foodservice Equipment?

Image
Did you know that aluminum was once worth more than gold? It’s the most abundant metal on Earth, but early on in its history, it was difficult and expensive to extract from ore, refine, and process. Lucky for us, 19 th century physicists, chemists, and engineers paved the way for efficient processes that led to the development of the strong, lightweight, noncorrosive, recyclable material we know—and depend on more than we realize—today. This rare combination of properties makes aluminum a natural fit for foodservice equipment, and New Age Industrial has got it down to a science! 1. It’s lightweight and easy to push. Aluminum weighs 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter, which is less than half the weight of iron, (7.8 grams per cubic centimeter).  New Age Industrial Utility Carts , Dollies , Platform Trucks , Mixer and Slicer Stands and Dollies help your team transport heavy loads without adding to them. 2. It’s versatile. An important advantage of aluminum is its ease of fo...

Wooden Foodservice Shelving: Friend or Foe?

Image
Wooden shelving. If you have it, you may not think twice about it or even know how long it’s been there, especially if you're only using it in dry storage. It may seem harmless and sturdy, but even if it doesn’t seem to be causing any problems, it may not be helping either. The following four questions can help you assess how your wooden shelving is affecting your food storage and kitchen operations. 1.      Is your team able to keep your food storage areas clean and sanitary? Coated or painted wood tends to peel or chip over time, especially with heavy use, regular cleaning, and friction from items like #10 cans.  One employee may overzealously scrub the paint off in an attempt to keep shelves clean, while another may clean too gently so they don’t damage it. Others may skip it entirely because it’s too much work, and it looks the same whether they do it or not. Unfortunately, if the paint or coating is chipping or peeling, there's no telling where it will en...
