PORTION BAGS
You’re three plates short for the final table of your biggest event of the year. The sous chef is frantically ripping asparagus in half and slicing wafer-thin pieces of meat. If only you used portion bags.
Portion bags can help large kitchens run more efficiently, provide a more consistent product and avoid them running out of food for those all-important moments.
Small and reusable plastic containers are able to do the exact same job.
THE SOLUTION
LOCATE CONTAINERS
Between yourself and your staff, how many little takeaway boxes have you got piling up at home? Would your customers be willing to bring in their takeaway boxes to support your new sustainable initiatives? Is that enough for you to take portion bags off your order list?
BUY CONTAINERS
There are so many of these takeaway boxes around that locating enough shouldn’t be a problem. If you really want to buy some, go for good quality containers that will last.
WORK WITH SCALES
You could also try working with scales on your section or practice your eyeballing skills (sorry chef).
