Prep Manual

Below you’ll find the Prep Matrix for each market. Use it to figure out how many pieces, bundles, kgs etc. you need from each ingredient (these are instructive numbers). The videos below the matrix will show you how to slice, cut and mix the different ingredients – be aware of the different hygiene aspects in the prep descriptions(!)
Remember:
Chicken, Turkey, Serrano, Tuna and Mozzarella need to be stored in food containers within the cooling grave. Pesto is kept in plastic tubes in the refrigerator. Always keep the lids on the canteens as much as possible throughout the day. The lids keep the products in the canteen cold and by keeping them on, we can ensure that the actual temperature is within the accepted temperature range for each market.
