Food Station
The Food Station is where we produce all our delicious food products such as Sandwiches, Salads and Breakfast products. Follow the steps below when carrying out a Food Station training:
Certify in the "Food Station" section in Attensi until the dotted line:
*Franchise Markets: Trainee to study e-Campus module
Teach the practical procedures on shift by covering all areas of this training module using the training tag: Food Station on WP2
The following days, the Trainee practices all training goals until they are ready for the validation.
Carry out a module validation to measure performance and celebrate growth. Plan a validation shift using the validation tag: FOOD STATION VALIDATION.
Part 1: Knowledge Validation in Attensi
The Juicer will start out by certifying in the validation modules in Attensi:
Part 2: Practical Validation on shift
The Juicer will show they are capable of executing their theoretical knowledge in practice.
Part 3: REGISTER ON WP2
If the Trainee passes, register the validation as passed in WP2 and move on to the next module. If the Trainee fails, grade the validation as failed in WP2. Then, share improvement points, allow for more “Practice On Shift” and plan a new Validation Shift.
When working on the Food Station, there are 3 positions to cover. These positions can all be covered by one Juicer, or the positions can be split out between 2 or 3 Juicers.
The full overview of tools and equipment needed to work on the Food Station.
Washing hands reduces the possibility of contaminating any food products you touch. We wash our hands not only to be hygienic but also to show humbleness and respect to our guests.
When to wash your hands: You must wash your hands whenever you think they may have become dirty/contaminated.
Some examples after which you must wash your hands:
Gloves are an extra precaution to further reduce the possibility of contamination from your hands reaching food. It is very important to change gloves when they are dirty or torn.
You must wear gloves when operating the food station.
Treat your gloves like your hands and change gloves in the same situations as you would wash your hands
Remember you must wash hands and change gloves:
Every bar is equipped with a yellow cutting board and a yellow breadknife to specifically handle the gluten free bread. It is very important that we only use this for the gluten free bread. Gluten Free Bread MUST be stored and separated from a regular bread or other sources of gluten. Each piece of bread is individually wrapped.
All bars have small bags for grilling gluten free breads. The Juicer is to place the gluten free bread in a bag before grilling, this is to avoid the bread touching the grill where there will be gluten residue from our other products.
Bags, yellow chopping board and yellow bread knife MUST be kept in container above or away from the sandwich station preparation tabletop, to minimise the risk of cross-contamination.
Each bag will last 200 bread toastings so we must not throw them away after each use, unless we identify a risk to the food such as a torn bag, or the inside of the bag is suspected of contamination with a gluten containing product.
We always follow the below procedure when grilling gluten free bread:
Notes:
To maintain a fast workflow and minimise the need for frequent hand washing we use Clean-on-the-Go procedures. COTG is performed with paper hand towels and sanitiser instead of using cloths and is purely to remove debris and to sanitise the work surfaces. Once the paper hand towel has been used, it must be disposed of immediately.
If there is spare time, clean other items such as boards, knifes, and other utensils.
Add soap, hot water then shake to clean and dissolve all pesto leftovers. Scrub thoroughly with a brush. Place into the high temp disinfector. Once disinfected, check for any leftover pesto. Rewash if there is any pesto remaining.
The following food products must be stored in covered metal canteens in the cooling grave:
Always keep the lids on the canteens as much as possible throughout the day, as this will help keep the items within the correct temperature range.
The three-hour rule applies in all markets. If a refrigerated product becomes warmer than their max
temperature, and remains above this temperature for 3 hours, then the product must be thrown out. Keeping the lids on the canteens will help greatly in keeping the ingredients at the right temperature.
Max temperatures:
Chicken/Tuna/Serrano/Turkey/Mozzarella 5°C/41°F
Regular temperature checks are to be performed throughout the day to monitor these temperatures. If a too high reading is returned, then the iPad 3-hour timer must be started with the alarm sounding on and the temperature must be checked again. If after three hours it is higher than the recommended limit then it must be thrown out and recorded as waste.
First in first out – FIFO is fundamental for a healthy stock handling. FIFO means “First In, First Out”. FIFO is the goods “workflow” from when we receive our goods, to which order we use them. It is important to make sure you stack up the oldest food items on top / in front. Following FIFO helps us ensure that only fresh food is used in our products.
The responsibility of a Bread Provider is to ensure that you grill and cut breads to ensure that we follow the flow in the store.
1. Grill breads based on the list
2. Apply signature roast by flipping bread
*Waste any breads that are burnt or not up to standard.
3. Cut all breads
Move with a purpose to maintain CWT
