FOR QUICK SERVICE CONCEPTS

INCREASE SALES IN SCHOOL FOODSERICE FOR 2015-2016

F

rom pizza to burgers to drinks and snacks, most kids think Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) are the gold standard for food that is both tasty and fun. Taking a cue from these popular venues, several school districts have been inspired to make small to significant changes in their operations and have seen increased cafeteria participation.

In 2009-2010, for example, the two high schools in the Downey Unified School District in California underwent a full-scale remodel to reflect QSRs. Students were engaged to pick themes, music videos, décor and more for the cafeterias, which now have booths and high tables, a counter area and a food court with different options such as chicken, pizza, barbeque and a “fresh express” to replicate popular restaurants and malls that students already know and like.

1 2

After the remodel, participation increased by 35 percent.

The Culver City Unified School District in Culver City, California also remodeled its central kitchen and cafeteria, which serves the high school and middle school, about 10 years ago. It added “speed lines” for fast service as well as dedicated stations for Asian bowls and homemade pizza, two of the most popular items. More recently, Julie Garcia, director of food service for the district, had an “a-ha” moment at Starbucks when purchasing a protein pack. She thought that protein packs would be a great vegetarian option for kids, so the district started putting together protein packs that consist of yogurt, fruit, string cheese, a muffin or graham cracker and carrots.

Some kids now purchase a protein pack every single day.

TIPS FOR BRINGING QSR CONCEPTS INTO THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA: Offer a “combo meal” deal that brings together several fun, tasty items that students enjoy.

Use signage including menu boards to draw attention and give the feel of a QSR or food court.

3 4

Engage culinary skills to make something new that reflects a quick-service dining favorite. Provide samples and ask students if they’d order it on a regular menu to get input and increased enthusiasm.

Martin Bros. offers downloadable “month-ata-glance” menu designs that allow you to type your monthly menu into a colorful, seasonallydesigned template that you can then print and post for your students and staff.

Gretchen Robinson, RDN, LD Martin Bros. Marketing Dietitian It’s no secret that practicing good personal hygiene is a key component to staying healthy.

Yet, a recent study by Michigan State University researchers, for instance, found that only 5 percent of people even wash their hands long enough to kill germs that can cause infections!1 So, help your staff and those you serve ward off illnesses by keeping these things in mind:

3.

4 5

4.

Wash your hands! Did you know that most foodborne illnesses are spread by contaminated hands? Washing your hands is critical, and it is one of the necessary methods to safeguard yourself from the germs others fail to protect you from. a.

Wash hands after changing tasks, touching your hair, face or skin, using the restroom and taking out the garbage.

b.

Hand-washing stations should be easily accessible in the kitchen. Post signs as a reminder.

c.

Don’t forget about the guest restrooms, as well. Make sure they are well stocked and regularly cleaned.

Dress the part! Dressing properly and using the proper protective equipment help to prevent cross contamination and keep germs at bay. a.

Be sure to provide gloves in all sizes, not just in large because “they fit everyone.” A loose-fitting glove does not properly prevent cross contamination.

There should be a size appropriate for all food handlers.

b.

Keep hair secured by providing hair nets, bouffant caps and/or skull caps.

Check with your local regulations as interpretations may be different.

c.

Make sure to have proper dress codes in place.

LOTION

Provide hand sanitizer! Many people have come to expect it in common areas and restrooms.

Consider providing lotion for your staff members when they go on break! Washing hands frequently can cause skin to become rough, cracked and painful. This may lead to even less hand washing. Foodservice workers cannot use lotion while preparing or serving food, but most would appreciate having it available while they are away from their work stations.

LOVE OF FOOD – LOVE OF DESSERTS Everyone enjoys food! Food and dining add joy. In particular, most people have a favorite main dish and a favorite dessert. This is probably because the main dish is the bulk of a meal, and dessert can be the perfect ending to any meal.

TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT DESSERTS • “Cookies are made of butter and love.” – Norwegian Proverb • “Ice cream is happiness condensed” – Jessie Lane Adams • “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” – Charles M. Schultz • “There is no better way to bring people together than with desserts.” – Gail Simmons WHEN IT COMES TO DESSERTS • Portions need not be large. Just a little taste of a sweet morsel is pleasing to most everyone.

• Dessert is the perfect part of your menu to experiment with pairing different flavors and trying out unique plating techniques.

DESSERT CARTS For Senior Living establishments, Dessert Carts are a great way to serve sweet morsels. You can use actual carts, or you can take the lead from fine dining restaurants and use trays to take to the table sides.

A well-balanced dessert cart should contain something on each end of the scale of calorie level, something low carbohydrate and a variety of flavors and textures. Examples might include cream pies, fruit crisps, ice creams, fruit ices, fruit pies, brownies, sherbets and fresh fruit cups.

IS YOUR FACILITY ALWAYS AVAILABLE? Always Available Menus are a great way to easily implement a restaurant-style dining program! Always Available Menus are flexible and versatile.

Uncovering the Risk of Using Improper Lids Trusted Brand Feature:

While aluminum foil and plastic wrap seem like a good idea and a convenient way to cover food, they are not durable and can put your food at risk.

The Problem: Exposing Food Improper container covers such as foil or plastic wrap can easily shift or puncture and expose food to crosscontamination from other food sources close by. They may also compromise the taste and quality of food, allowing odors to infiltrate. Also, if you are dealing with limited storage space, covering containers with foil or wrap is probably not a good idea. They prevent containers from being able to stack up on top of each other, thereby taking up even more shelf space.

The Solution: Containers with Lids Lids on all food storage containers are essential for food safety, and they keep food fresh longer than using foil or plastic wrap. Using reusable lids also saves used aluminum foil and plastic wrap from ending up in the landfill.

Store food in clear containers with tight-fitting lids to minimize handling and reduce risk of contamination.

7 Tips for Proper Glove Use Trusted Brand Feature: While glove use in itself does not guarantee food safety, gloving is an important step. Here are seven important tips to help you properly use gloves for food safety.

1 Wash your hands before and after wearing or changing gloves.

2 Scrub hands and fingertips after a trip to the restroom before putting on new gloves.

3 The FDA food code currently recommends no bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods such as salads, fruits, sandwiches, meats, breads or ice. Make sure you are using gloves when handling these foods.

4 Glove size is important for safety and comfort. Select the right size for your hands.

5 To avoid cross contamination, change gloves whenever you change your activity and make sure to wash your hands in between.

6 Change gloves after sneezing, coughing or touching your hair or face, and always wear gloves if you have a bandage, skin infection, cut or sore.

7 It is not recommended that you reuse or wash disposable gloves. Always use new gloves when you need to re-glove.

For complete food safety, make sure to follow these tips and practice all facets of proper food preparation.
