REVIEW STAFFING

Plan ahead to secure seasonal hires in today’s competitive labour market. It’s more than just having enough help; it’s about having well-trained help. Allow at least six weeks for thorough training. Attract talent with accessible applications, reaching out to previous seasonal workers and students, and promoting jobs on social media.

Consider partnering with a local staffing agency for additional support.

ADDING A LITTLE SOMETHING TO TURKEY & HAM PORTIONS Sysco.ca 5

Tips

for creating your festive menu Keep clever ways to save on prep, labour and cost in mind.

Don’t shy away from prepared products.​ “I used to shy away from value-added produce thinking that it was inferior if it came in already peeled or cut, but that’s simply not true. There is a time and place for product like peeled carrots, onions and garlic consider if your kitchen would benefit from these labour savers.”

Clove Studded Ham​

HAM With its flavoursome fat content, ham is arguably one of the most crave-able meats, and can be used in many ways across your winter offering- not just as part of the traditional turkey and ham plate.​

1.

Use baked ham to make tempeting sandwiches. The classic Holiday sandwich is just one option - consider a Croque Monsieur or Madame on your lunch menu, a twist on a Reuben, or an elevated grilled cheese toastle with brie and cranberry sauce.​

2.

Ham and cheese croquettes make a popular bar snack, party food or side dish. ​

CREATE PERFECT

BEEF for foodservice

OUR TOP TIPS Before selecting a cut of beef, work out the portion cost to determine the selling price to ensure you can make a decent margin. ​ Season your beef heavily and evenly, remove it from the fridge at least an hour before cooking. ​ Use a built-in oven probe and cook to the required internal temperature for consistency.​

Use combination heat as an aid if necessary and always allow time for resting.​ Cook lower and slower for tougher cuts. Cook overnight to take into consideration time and oven space. ​ When reheating braised/ cooked and pressed/shape, reheat in braising liquor/jus to 67O°C and use a hot hold oven for service if required.

And boost sales with these​Top tips:

With the increased demand for health-focused offerings, the need to deliver exciting options for all diets and lifestyles has never been more important.

MENU LANGUAGE IS KEY​ Labels like vegan or vegetarian can be off putting for customers without specific dietary requirements.

To appeal to a wider range of customers, exclude these terms from dish names. Instead focus on the delicious dish components just like you would with any other dish.

STUFF OF LEGENDS​ Use a symbols key or legend so that customers can clearly identify dishes that are suitable to their dietary requirements. Consumers with specific dietary requirements or preferences will look for these identifications, whereas those without will not.

Make sure to feature the full legend clearly on the menu.

ALL ACCESS​ Skyrocketing demand for vegan friendly foods has seen a vast increase in the number of plant-based products available on the market, making it easier than ever before to provide delicious and inventive dishes to customers.

Complements parsnip, celery, or potato and leek soup brilliantly.​ ​ Crispy sage leaves​. A great topper for creamy mushroom soup.​ ​ Toasted pumpkin seeds with thyme and breadcrumbs​.

‘TIS THE SEASON FOR

SHARING Sharing boards come in all shapes and sizes, and a balanced selection of small bites and dips are key no matter the variation.

Whether you’re catering a private function or adding sharing boards to your bar snack menu, read on for our top tips and tricks this party season.

TRENDY DOES IT Canapés and nibbles get everyone in a festive mood. This year, think of bringing trending flavours and themes to the fore with mezze boards, Asian-inspired platters, and more.

GENEROSITY IS KEY

BUILDING BLOCKS​

A platter doesn’t necessarily call for vast variety but demands generosity.

Small bites and canapes don’t break the bank, meaning you can give more and charge accordingly, improving profit margins.

Make sure to provide a myriad of flavours and textures, a selection of dips and accompaniments. Read on for building tips and board inspiration.

Sysco.ca 35

Top Cheeseboard

TIPS

THE POWER OF THREE Base the plate around three different cheeses, making sure there’s a balance amongst types of milk (cow, sheep or goat), textures (hard, semi-soft, soft), and styles of cheesemaking (bloomy rind, washed, rind, blue, Cheddar-style, etc.)

ALL THE TRIMMINGS Add crackers, biscuits, bread sticks toasted bread slices for crunch; fresh fruit like berries, pear, apple, grapes and figs for freshness; nuts like pistachios, walnuts and hazelnuts for texture; dried fruits and honey for sweetness; and chutneys to elevate flavour.

A CUT ABOVE When cutting cheese, it’s best to think of whole wheels (whether they be round, square, or cylindrical) as if they were whole pies. Each should be divided in half first, and then into measured wedges.

PORTION CONTROL It’s easy to go overboard but take care when arranging your cheese plates to maximise your margins.

Consider including approximately 30g of cheese per person. Bulk your boards up with cheaper added extras like crackers and fruit.

36

Product availability may vary.

MAXIMIZE MARGINS

with these top cheese tips

A little goes a long way Make sure to adjust your margins to reflect the cheese you’re using.

Cheeses like Stilton, Goat’s Cheese and Manchego are strong in flavour so manage portions when incorporating them into dishes.

Limited-time-only offers Try offering a single top-quality cheese, expertly paired with a particular drink – think dry sherry, port, dessert wine, or a well-chosen beer. Your cheese and beverage combination can change every day or week, depending on your preference, tapping into the appeal of a ‘limited time only’ offer.
