“A place for everything and everything in its place."  This familiar saying, a modern version of a quote from Benjamin Franklin, means that the foundation of good organization is giving every item a home. In a foodservice environment, that practice pays big dividends. Clean and organized workspaces help employees stay focused, efficient, and safe. Today, we’re talking about keeping workspaces clear with the right equipment to give a safe and proper home to utensils, knives, supplies, sheet pans, and more.   The Quantum Foodservice Store Grid Task Station clears the clutter and puts your wall space to work.  Store Grid Systems are available with a variety of custom-configurable shelves, bins, baskets, and hooks that keep frequently used utensils and supplies visible and accessible, yet up and out of the way.    Knives need to be handy, but they create a hazard when left on work tables or loose in drawers or bins.

Getting the job done with a short staff is nothing new in the world of foodservice, but sometimes it feels like there just has to be a better way. Analyzing processes is a tried and true way to reduce costs and do more with fewer people. It requires taking the time, however, to stop, observe, and assess a process with fresh eyes. That’s no simple feat when you and your team are running full throttle and already feeling overwhelmed. How do you get yourself or key team members to take a step back to evaluate if your standard operating procedures are using more labor, space, or expertise than you can afford? Think of it like freeing a vehicle that’s stuck in the mud. If you’ve ever been in this situation, you know the first impulse is to gas it. Sometimes that works, but keeping the pedal to the metal can also make you spin your wheels deeper and get even more frustrated. Operations can’t slow down, but one person taking a pause to assess a procedural bottleneck is often all it takes ...

Autonomous. It’s a big word we’ve been hearing a lot of lately, as technology evolves to meet ongoing labor issues across industries.  In the foodservice world, you can now provide customers with access to fresh food 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and no staff required, with autonomous food merchandising. How do you decide if autonomous merchandising is a good fit for your operation? If your business fits two or more of the following criteria, autonomous food merchandising is worth a serious look. 1. Foodservice isn’t your primary business. Employees, students, hotel guests, and the like often prioritize the speed and convenience that a self-serve merchandiser can provide. 2. Your staff is small or frequently changing. No staff are needed to complete transactions, so your team can focus on their primary responsibilities. 3. Your customers have off-peak eating habits. Late hotel arrivals, and students or employees working late into the night all benefit from 24/7 food ...
