Recommendations for next steps: 1. Check the expiration and delivery dates of items in assigned section and remove items that are expired or will not be used on the new menu. 2. In each section, it may be easiest for inventory purposes to alphabetize the ingredients, but it may be better to arrange the ingredients by weight (heaviest at waist level or bottom level and lightest on top level) to make it easier to unload and transfer the boxes. 3. May want to group specific meat types on different racks, for example, the chicken on one and the beef on the rack next to the chicken. 4. Create new labels for the shelves, making sure to account for the inventoried items that may not be on the shelf. 5. Improve the inventory sheet to make taking inventory easier by possibly grouping the sections in order of numbering system.
