Order Customization Made Easy

Order Customization Made Easy

Remember when asking for omissions or substitutions when ordering a meal was considered impolite? Things have changed a lot since then. Customization is no longer the exception: it’s the rule. Having the operational agility to take special requests and customizations in stride has become essential to serving today’s discerning consumers.

The right infrastructure and the proper tools make it easy for staff to quickly handle customizations in the space you have, without missing a beat.

Productive Prep Stations

A well-designed prep station provides a foundation for seamless order customization. Important features include maximized space utilization, pan wells deep enough for flush-mounted 6" deep pans, and consistent safe temperatures below 41° F. A sizeable, cutting-board work surface and refrigerated storage beneath the table add up to efficient use of space and labor. Another space-optimizing feature to look for is stations that are 100% front breathing, which allows the unit to be pushed against a wall or built into a cabinet or an existing lineup.

From Raised Rail Prep Tables in a variety of sizes up to the new 96" 4496RP model to Dual Rail Prep Stations, Delfield can help you get customization-ready. Delfield Dual Rail Prep Stations have a second, elevated rail to improve production by doubling capacity without adding to the footprint. This allows you to either add to the menu without crowding the kitchen or simply add more toppings and products to the operation in the same space to provide more customization options.

Make Room for More Options with 1/8 Size Pans

Customization requires lots of topping and ingredient options but making room for them all can be a challenge. Having a variety of sizes of food pans helps maintain optimum fill levels at all times all while reducing waste of slower moving items. The first-of-its-kind Cambro 1/8 Size Food Pan supports menu expansion, ingredient and topping options, and limited time offers within existing prep and storage space. This pan is just the right size. It’s wide enough to comfortably fit open tongs and utensils, yet small enough to create space for more options.

Cut Prep Time with the Right Tools

Inverted squeeze bottles with color coded end caps help staff quickly identify and dispense the correct condiment, sauce, or dressing. TableCraft offers a variety of sizes of time-saving InvertaTop bottles and 6 colors of end caps, along with holders and well templates to keep them organized and easy for staff to access.
