Looking to up your game? Don't forget to check your prep lists and always be ready!



Creating a daily prep list is crucial to ensuring the right amount of product is available every shift. Attached is a copy of a prep list that allows you to enter your own par levels and track prep levels daily. Even if you transfer the list to a white board, it is important to have a history to reference as this can help control food cost. 

Best Practices 

·      Review par levels frequently and as sales volumes change. Do you need the same par for the weekends as you do the weekdays? 

·      Utilize product mix when determining pars. 

·      Conduct an on hands count before writing the prep list to ensure too little or too much product isn’t made. 

·      Look at the shelf life of products. If something has a 7-day shelf life, prep enough to get you through multiple days to reduce the amount of daily prep.

·      Have a manager review the prep list to ensure numbers are accurate for the day. 

As a reminder, line checks and the OMC checklist should only be completed in Zenput. If any restaurant is still using the previous Line Check app or paper, they need to switch. This new tool is a great way to ensure food safety, and it allows you to easily track issues when they first arise and can help prevent food borne illness. You can also easily see recurring issues and address quickly. 

Each checklist has a window in which it must be completed. A good best practice to remind managers about completing the checklist is to mark who is responsible on the Daily Staff Card and review during the pre-shift meeting.
