For many people, though, hibernation means hibernating from their own kitchens. Get ready to feed all your hungry patrons (dining in or carrying out) the hearty foods they’ll be craving by taking a look at these articles, items, recipes and rebates!

PRIME RIB
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Pull ribeye from cooler. Remove plastic. Let blood drain. Trim any unwanted fat, but make sure to leave a good amount to ensure tenderness, juiciness and flavor. Decide on seasoning. You can make a wet rub or a dry blended seasoning (rub with olive oil before seasoning with a dry blend). You can also place onions, carrots and celery under or on top. Place on a roasting rack in a pan. Do NOT add water to the pan. The natural juices will be just perfect. Place in 450°F oven uncovered for 10-15 minutes. Drop temperature to 275°F. Continue to roast until desired internal temperature is reached. Let rest at room temperature for at least 10 minutes. You can tent with foil, but do NOT seal. Serve 12 oz with au jus, Grey Poupon Rouge Sauce, a salad and a starch.
Martin Bros. Chef Scott Fadden recommends a 120˚F internal temperature for a nice rare!

Reaping Rewards
through Continuing Education Chris Timmons, RD, LD, Martin Bros. Menu Development Manager
Continuing education and training are a vital part of maintaining quality service. The benefits of training and education far outweigh any loss in production or labor hours. Some of these benefits include keeping you on the cutting edge and assisting with employee and resident satisfaction.
With regular training, you can expect : INCREASED EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION The investment made in regular training tells your employees “you and what you do are valued.”
INCREASED ADAPTABILITY You should know how to do each and every job that is in your department, and someone in your department should know how to do each and every critical part of your job as a manager. This will help ensure that if you or one of your employees is sick or gone on vacation, for instance, nothing about your service will be stressed or forced to slow down.
STRENGTHENED EMPLOYEE SKILLS
DECREASED COSTS Training in food production and portioning will improve speed of performance and decrease waste. Education in standard procedures and equipment will help prevent accidents. The end result is a strengthened bottom-line and improved productivity.
DECREASED NEED FOR SUPERVISION When employees gain knowledge, they also become more self-reliant and require fewer directives. This improves employees’ work satisfaction. In addition, less directives means increased efficiency and time that can be spent on other tasks.
Keeping up on the latest rules, regulations, techniques and trends in the industry will enhance your work and the work of your staff. You should also see improved performance and consistency throughout all staff members and shifts.

Erika Kramer, Martin Bros. Healthcare Market Developer
Many facilities are constantly looking towards the future. They raise questions, find answers and evolve in order to continue to survive and thrive in the healthcare industry. They look at their departments and services, evaluate them on a continuum of success and take steps to improve them and market them. The end goal is the health and well-being of patients and facilities. One of the services facilities are starting to look to for success is Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). ACOs are groups of doctors, hospitals and other health care providers who come together voluntarily to give coordinated, high quality care. The goal of coordinated care is to ensure that patients, especially the chronically ill, get the right care at the right time while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors.

SMOOTHIE SUCCESS FOR BREAKFAST & A LA CARTE Trusted Brand Feature:
“Smoothies make a great addition to the a la carte program for smart snacks,” said Greiner. “They can be run through the calculator as a side item, not a beverage.”
NEW SMOOTHIE OPPORTUNITY
Smoothies, which have surged in popularity in recent years, will soon likely transition onto more school breakfast menus thanks to new USDA guidelines that allow yogurt in smoothies to contribute toward meat/meat alternate requirements at breakfast. “We would like to add yogurt smoothies to our breakfast menu as they were a big hit among middle school students when we tested them,” said Paula Pohlkamp, nutrition services supervisor for North St. Paul District in St. Paul, Minnesota. She said they tested yogurt-based smoothies mixed with frozen fruits on two occasions and had a very good response from students. The new guidelines present a new opportunity to boost breakfast participation as well as a la carte sales, according to Renee Greiner, RDN, LD, a dietitian for Martin Bros.
A favorable reaction from students may come as no surprise since many of them have likely enjoyed the on-trend menu item outside of school. In fact, foodservice smoothies have grown six percent in the past five years with nearly half of consumers recently purchasing a blended fruit beverage at either a fast-food restaurant or smoothie shop1 —a hallmark of their growing popularity. “Smoothies are versatile, easy to make and a huge crowd pleaser for all grade levels,” said Susan Coult, RD, LD, SNS, Quality and Regulatory Manager for K-12, General Mills Convenience & Foodservice. She adds that yogurt smoothies can be an efficient way to help deliver important nutrients students need on a daily basis to grow and thrive, such as calcium, Vitamin D and potassium.
TIPS FOR A SMOOTHIE TRANSITION
Monica Coulter, Corporate Chef at General Mills who works closely with K-12 operators, offers the following tips…and more available at www.generalmillscf.com. • Large quantities of fruit can be pureed, using a blender or food processor, the day before. The fruit puree can be chilled overnight then whisked together with the appropriate amount of yogurt the next morning. • It may take a few trial runs to determine how best to manage smoothies with the labor and equipment available to you in your operation. Consider testing them out during a special event where you don’t have to serve a large number of students during the morning rush. 1

Directions: Place fruit in large capacity blender or food processor. Blend on high speed 1 minute. Stop blender. Stir with spatula. Continue to blend until smooth. Measure to verify that pureeing has resulted in 8 cups of fruit. Puree additional fruit if necessary. Whisk ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Portion into serving cups. Cover. Serve chilled. Tip: Smoothies may be refrigerated overnight.

Sweet Profits Trusted Brand Feature: Lamb Weston
Why Another Fry?
Still Going Strong
Fries are one of the most, if not the most, profitable food item you can offer. So why limit your menu to only one type of fry? Adding another fry item, such as a sweet potato fry, to your menu is one of the easiest and most effective ways to boost bottom-line profits—up to 35% and more! If you’re not ready to take the second-fry plunge yet, though, try a Limited Time Offer (LTO) with sweet potato fries. LTOs provide an opportunity to build profits through special promotions as well as offer a low-cost, low-risk way to “test drive” a menu item without any long-term commitment.

FRESH SOLUTIONS
All concentrated disinfectants should be made up fresh each day or when the mop bucket solution becomes visually dirty.
Read the label for specific dilutions for each application. Adding more disinfectant than directed does not give you more effectiveness for disinfecting a surface, it only will cost you more money by wasting chemical. Using less disinfectant than required will not give you the required disinfecting properties (which is why you are using a disinfectant in the first place).

7 Keys to Ambiance Krystle Kettman, Martin Bros. Vendor Marketing Coordinator
1. FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Ambiance all starts with first impressions. Dining facilities must think about the entire experience their customers have – from finding the establishment in a brochure, phonebook or online to parking and looking at the building exterior and making their way through the entryway to the table. Think about the five senses – sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch – and how to make each work for your facility.
2. STAFF Think about the hosts, hostesses, bartenders and servers
PRODUCTS
Fiesta Dinnerware (12/each)
your guests come into contact with. Also think about the back of the house staff, because diners often catch a glimpse of them during their visit, too. Are everyone’s appearances and manners pleasant, and do they reinforce your restaurant’s brand? Training, evaluating and continuing education are vital. Many vendors have wait staff training resources available to help. Ask your Martin Bros. representative for more information.
3. MENU Are your menus themselves in good condition? Does their
Scarlet Fruit Bowl – 5-3/8 in, 6-1/4 oz (263270) Shamrock Fruit Bowl – 5-3/8 in, 6-1/4 oz (286434)
design match the look and feel of your establishment? Are signature items, enticing words and photography included? If there is pricing by each item, is it discreet, without dollar signs and ending in 9. Martin Bros. Marketing can help with menus. Ask your Martin Bros. representative for more information.
4. THE WAIT
Don’t forget to think about how you’re entertaining your guests while they wait. For kids, make sure you have at minimum some crayons and paper to keep them busy. Ask if children would like a package of crackers to tide them over until their meal comes. Some vendors are even realizing the importance of making “the wait” work for you. For instance, Heinz recently started including a QR code on the back of specially-marked ketchup bottles to take patrons to a mobile Trivial Pursuit game for all ages.
5. THE RESTROOMS
Tangerine Salad Plate – 7-1/4 in (281989) Peacock Salad Plate – 7-1/4 in (281994) Plum Salad Plate – 7-1/4 in (284984)
Don’t let speed of service or the lunch or dinner rush get in the way of maintaining your restrooms. Staff should frequently spot check them to make sure they’re in tip-top shape. Make sure soap, towel and toilet paper dispensers are stocked and working well. Pick up items thrown on the floor, and wipe off sink areas. Check to make sure toilets are working properly and aren’t clogged or grossly soiled.
6. PLATE PRESENTATION Is care given to
how items are arranged on plates? Are garnishes and sauces used to add special, signature touches? Elevate the experience even more with the right dinnerware, serving ware, flatware, drink ware and napkins.
7. FINAL IMPRESSIONS
Ambiance doesn’t stop with the last bite. Don’t forget about all of the final impressions your guests have, including being asked if their meals were great, having a smooth payment process and being thanked for their visit a final time while leaving.

Keep It Clean Top 5 Ways to Keep Your Establishment Clean
1. USE MATTING 80% of the dirt entering a building comes through the front door, and it costs about $500 to clean up every pound. Consider having an outdoor scraper mat along with 12-20 feet of indoor walk-off matting.
2. VACUUM Vacuum matting and carpets daily.
Flex Tip Outdoor Scraper Black Mats • Two thousand finger-like tips per square foot aggressively scrape soil from shoes. • OSHA-compliant beveled edges and deep wells hold heavy soil and debris. • Solid 5/8 in thick construction. • Excellent anti-fatigue capabilities. SPECIAL ORDER 091443 – 36x60 in Also available in more sizes.
