Is your Station Ready? Stock 24/2
Ensure sufficient stock is available - 24 hours of dry stock and 2 hours in secondary freezers and chillers. • Check dates • Products must be selected using FIFO (First In, First Out). New stock must be shelved behind old stock. When stocking up, best before and use by dates must be checked to ensure products are used in correct rotation • If stock is used out of rotation, older products will expire before they can be used, which will affect the restaurant’s profit and may also result in stock shortages
• Glossy surface Make it special for the customer by exceeding their expectations.

Frying Items Cooking Hash Browns/Rostis Action
Description
Set correct basket on pan with wire rack
Placing the basket on the pan with wire rack helps to catch any coating that falls from the portions. This keeps the coating from falling into the vat when loading product in baskets (which would shorten the life of the oil) Use the dedicated hash brown basket for hash browns and the green-handled half basket with dividers for rostis
NB: The moon side should not be on the outside as it will be more difficult to see the line which is created when the tortilla is toasted. This line helps as a guide when dressing Prepare box
Position on tray liner
While you are waiting for the buns to toast, pull out a clean tray liner and box for the order. Attach grill slips if appropriate
Load basket
Remove the required hash browns/rostis from the freezer. Insert up to 8 hash browns or rostis into the relevant basket
Lower basket into fryer
Lower the basket into the fryer (175ºC) and press the button to activate the timer (180 seconds). Make sure the hash browns/rostis are fully submerged in the oil in order to ensure they are fully cooked
Remove product
When the timer beeps, carefully lift the basket to remove the product from the oil and tilt the basket over the fryer to allow it to drain for 5-10 seconds
Transfer product
Transfer the hash browns to a wire rack without a tray in the fry station and use a timecard to apply a holding time of 10 minutes. Bag the hash browns as needed, using the green tongs to place them into the packaging. Place them upright in the fry rack during high volume
Remove the tortilla from the vertical toaster and place onto the wrap packaging OR tray liner with the lined side of the tortilla facing up (moon side facing down). Ensure the line is horizontal. NB: The line across the centre of the tortilla should be used as a guide when dressing Ensure the tortillas are an even temperature, and not burnt or torn. Any tortilla not meeting quality standards should be discarded into a red waste bin
Toasting Bagels Action
Description
Place bagel into toaster
Place both the crown and the heel side of the bagel into the heel side of the vertical toaster. The cut sides of both the heel and crown should be facing the teflon of the toaster. A maximum of 2 bagels should be toasted at one time
Remove bagel from toaster
Once the toasting cycle has been completed, remove the bagel from the landing zone of the vertical toaster
Place bagel onto wrap
Place the bagel crown onto the correct section of the multi-use wrap and place the heel on the opposite corner. Dress the bagel as required or pass it down to the UHC trolley to be assembled
Note

Making People Feel Good Place cup into microwave
Place the cup into the centre of the microwave. Do not place the lid onto the cup. Cook one porridge at a time for 78 seconds in a 1000/1100 watt microwave
In order to create a truly exceptional experience and to make people feel good, you must think like a customer. You have seen some examples of the ways you can make our customers feel good, such as: • Loading hash brown and rosti baskets away from the vat to help maintain oil quality • Having the correct oil level in the vat to maintain high standards • Making porridge special by filing the milk to the correct line and not forgetting to stir it once its cooked
Remove cup
When the cooking cycle is complete, remove the pot from the microwave

After you have practiced on the station, think about how else you could impact the Customer Experience by demonstrating the Vital Ingredients and interacting with customers on shift.
