4 Tips for Easy Cleaning Most people do not enjoy cleaning, for a variety of reasons – whether it’s because it’s messy, it takes too long, there’s not enough time or it can wait until another day. Whatever the reason, cleaning still needs to get done in order to maintain a good work environment and a clean place for customers.

Here are four things that can be done to make cleaning easier:

2. Create a Cleaning Schedule – You can’t clean everything every day. So, create

a cleaning chart that lists what needs to be cleaned, how often it needs to be cleaned, what you need to clean it and who is responsible for cleaning it. Knowing ahead of time what things are scheduled to be cleaned makes the tasks less daunting, allows everyone to set aside the time to do the tasks and ensures everyone has everything they need.

Products

Fusion Bioenzymatic Floor Cleaner Eliminates grease build-up on floors and reduces incidences of slip-fall accidents. Deodorizes unpleasant odors. No-rinse formula. Patented enzymes continue to clean 24 hours a day. (190168 – 1/2.5 gal)

3. Presoak & Pretreat – There are just some things that are tough to get clean

easily. Baked-on food, heavy build-up on equipment, soil on fabric, etc. Let time and the proper product help you out. Soaking flatware or baked-on cookware in the correct solution for even 5-10 minutes, for instance, will loosen soils and make them easier to remove.

NuSheen Multi-Surface Cleaner & Polish Exceptional cleaner and polish for stainless steel, aluminum, porcelain, formica surfaces and more. Not recommended for use on floors. Inhibits finger marking. Contains no silicone or wax.

4. Use the Right Tools – Cleaners areSpecial designed to be used for different soilsDesserts and different surfaces. Using the correct product on the correct surface can make the cleaning job go easier and quicker. Make sure to always read the directions before using a product…and never mix chemicals! Using the wrong thing on the wrong surface can cause damage, and mixing chemicals can be extremely dangerous – even fatal!

GOLD LABEL HOLLANDAISE SAUCE (958830 – 8/2 lb) A classic “Mother Sauce,” this hollandaise delivers the authentic emulsification of egg yolk, clarified butter and lemon you would expect to find in a scratch preparation, with just the right level of cayenne pepper.

Did You Know? Hollandaise sauce can curdle if even slightly overcooked. That is why opting for a ready-to-use Hollandaise sauce is a good choice. Simply heat according to the manufacturer directions…and serve. If you do make your own Hollandaise sauce, cook it over low heat, stir it constantly and give it close attention.

From France to Holland: Hollandaise sauce is a rich, lemon-flavored butter sauce thickened with egg yolks. The French chef who created this sauce most likely named it for Holland because Holland was famous for butter, a main ingredient in the sauce. In addition to its use in Eggs Benedict, Hollandaise sauce is often served over asparagus or poached salmon. Many other sauces, such as Béarnaise and Mousseline, are based on Hollandaise sauce.

source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Eating more seafood can provide benefits such as lowering the risk of heart disease and decreasing the risk of depression, ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and diabetes as well as preventing inflammation and reducing the risk of arthritis. Here are five tips to help incorporate more seafood on your menu: 1. Offer a variety of seafood prepared in a variety of ways, such as salmon patties, shrimp stir-fry and grilled fish tacos. 2. Choose lean cooking methods to prepare seafood, such as grilling, broiling, roasting and baking. 3. Consider seafood tastings with your guests to get their input and give them the opportunity to try new things before they make it onto your menu. 4. Keep canned seafood on hand for quick and easy meals and/or for your emergency menu. 5. Top salads with fish and seafood. For example, feature grilled scallops, shrimp and crab in place of steak or chicken on salads. ■

Clean It Up 4 Tips for Easy Cleaning

Most people do not enjoy cleaning, for a variety of reasons – whether it’s because it’s messy, it takes too long, there’s not enough time or it can wait until another day. Whatever the reason, cleaning still needs to get done in order to maintain a good work environment and a clean place for customers.

Here are four things that can be done to make cleaning easier:

Effective Cleaning Products

Clean As You Go & When You Can – When you are working in an area and you finish what you’re doing, clean up immediately after. Don’t wait until later. It’s easier to clean soils when they are fresh than when they have time to sit. Additionally, if you put it off, it may become an inconvenience to other people when they need to work in that area and it’s dirty. There are also times throughout the day when things slow down. Take those times to wipe areas down, sweep the floor and tidy up. Create a Cleaning Schedule – You can’t clean everything every day. So, create a cleaning chart that lists what needs to be cleaned, how often it needs to be cleaned, what you need to clean it and who is responsible for cleaning it. Knowing ahead of time what things are scheduled to be cleaned makes the tasks less daunting, allows everyone to set aside the time to do the tasks and ensures everyone has everything they need.

Presoak & Pretreat – There are just some things that are tough to get clean easily. Baked-on food, heavy build-up on equipment, soil on fabric, etc. Let time and the proper product help you out. Soaking flatware or baked-on cookware in the correct solution for even 5-10 minutes, for instance, will loosen soils and make them easier to remove.

4. Use the Right Tools – Cleaners are designed to be used for different soils and

different surfaces. Using the correct product on the correct surface can make the cleaning job go easier and quicker. Make sure to always read the directions before using a product…and never mix chemicals! Using the wrong thing on the wrong surface can cause damage, and mixing chemicals can be extremely dangerous – even fatal!

I know, you were probably hoping for some secret tools or products to make cleaning a snap. Honestly, though, cleaning hasn’t changed much for hundreds of years. Yes, products and tools have been developed to be more effective and safer to use, but the human element and behavior of cleaning is as important as ever. ■

Fact:

Food is the second-largest expense. Labor is the largest. So, finding products that can help you save on labor costs can be an important part of your spending success.

Fact:

A food budget can vary from monthto-month based on the census or traffic and/or meals served. It is also important to note that if a location receives one delivery per week, there will be four months with five deliveries and eight months with four deliveries. If a location receives two deliveries per week, there will be eight months with nine deliveries and four months with eight deliveries. These are important factors to consider with budgeting.

Fact: Some distributors, like Martin Bros., have

affiliations that allow them to offer competitive pricing based on combined volumes. These affiliations also allow these distributors to provide a larger selection of product options. This flexibility helps you to maintain competitive costs without having to compromise quality for a better price.

It is crucial to keep a count of all meals that leave the kitchen census. CALCULATING FOOD COSTS PPD including: (subtracting revenue through guest/employee meals)  Resident meals Turnover  Guest meals Monthly Food Purchases Amount Dietary Managers change frequently.  Employee meals Week 1 $3,025.00 Typically there is an inﬂux in purchases when  Marketing meals or raw food costs associated with Week 2 place. $2,955.00 this takes activities and other marketing efforts

When comparing food costs from different communities, be sure that comparable items are served and the method of accounting for meals is the same. The calculated meal costs are only as accurate as the meal counts. Too low of a meal count, which is common, results in an artiﬁcially inﬂated cost per meal. • See the following examples that showcase options to calcu-
