LETTUCE LETTUCE VARIETIES & ATTRIBUTES

ICEBERG LETTUCE is the number one workhorse lettuce in the industry. This versatile crisp, firm lettuce is great for salads, sandwiches, hamburgers, wraps, and as a garnish. It is round in shape and tightly bound with broad, thick-walled leaves. Outside leaves range may be dark to lime green while inner leaves range from light green to white.

SPRING MIX is typically a blend of small, tender,multicolored leaves of several types of letuce. Peak spring mix blends five green lettuces, and three red lettuces for a flavorful way to add vegetables to almost any meal. This washed and ready to use product adds lots of color and taste to your salad offerings and bulks up on the plate for greater portions than traditional Iceberg and Romaine salads.

ROMAINE LETTUCE has a tall head with stiff, dark green leaves with a central rib running the length of each leaf. It has a crisp texture with delicate and sweet inner leaves and more bitter outer leaves. Romaine lettuce is slightly sweeter than iceberg lettuce and is a popular choice for salads, sandwiches, and wide range of other foodservice applications.

ARCADIAN LETTUCE at full maturity offers 30% more yield than Spring Mix. It has a superior shelf life and stands up to any salad dressing. Multiple colors are available based on the variety of Arcadian lettuce. It has a sweet and crisp lettuce bite and is ideal for use in salads and on sandwiches.

The tender and delicate leaves of RED & GREEN LEAF LETTUCE are mild in flavor and not as crisp as those of Romaine or Iceberg. There leaves are shades of green and purple and present nicely in salads or on sandwiches.

The tender, delicate, deep green leaves of SPINACH have an earthy flavor that is perfect for use in salads and sandwiches. Spinach is full of antioxidant flavonoids and an abundance of important vitamins and minerals making it one of the healthiest lettuce choices.

summer salads SUPER SIMPLE

2 1

Bright and colorful inspirations for the summer season! There’s nothing like a tasty, colorful summer salad made with many layers of flavor and components. These are truly so easy to create. I created these with simplicity in mind and tried to cross-utilize as many ingredients as possible in different applications. Pickling vegetables is quite easy and it’s always nice to get a slightly tart bite using whatever is in season and available. Enjoy the recipes and tempt your customers with these healthy summertime delights!

Summer Fruit Salad W/ BLUEBERRY YOGURT DRIZZLE & CANDIED PECANS

Using a multitude of fruit, just pile in bunches! Sliced kiwi (287479) makes a great border, add in PEAK watermelon cut into cubes (478927), raspberries (24117), strawberries (285890), blueberries (912064) and All components of the Fresh Fruit Salad Mix (692536) which contains cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple and orange wedges. I topped it with a mixture of Greek blueberry yogurt (383411) blended with some Pom Juice (952776) then sprinkled candied pecans on top (908467)

MARINATED

Steak Tip SALAD

Marinate the BRAVEHEART Flap Meat with olive oil, salt, black pepper and a dash of balsamic vinegar. Grill to medium-rare. (This can be grilled in advance or to order. Be sure to let the steak rest for a couple of minutes before cutting into strips.) The lettuce base for this salad is the Tuscany Blend (598474 (formerly known as the Arcadian Blend), topped with grilled red peppers (867167), blistered tomatoes (423589), grilled onions, pickled onions (418212), grilled summer squash and zucchini (867194 and 867190), roasted corn blend (504916), blue cheese crumbles (263721) finished with our delicious Wine and Basil Vinaigrette (645224). Garnish with a charred Lime!

Poke Tuna

OVER THAI STYLE RICE

3

The base of this salad already has a lot going on. Thai Style Rice Blend (534490) contains spicy curry rice and red quinoa with red peppers, edamame and carrots. The Poke Tuna Cubes (804033) should be made to order. Simply take some of the tuna cubes and quickly marinate it in a couple tablespoons of the Sesame Ginger Dressing (158908) and place on top of the rice. To give it some crunchy texture, I roasted the cauliflower florets (877277) and broccoli florets (880569) with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. The shredded red cabbage (359756) needs to stay raw for the crunch, along with the fresh radishes (866537). I pickled the red onions (418212), carrots (544595) and snow peas (24194) for tartness. A final touch of black and white sesame seeds (981722 and 628188 respectively) for garnish and serve with more Sesame Ginger Dressing.

Chipolte Seasoned Pork Tenderloin

SALAD

For this recipe, I used our Allegiance Pork Tenderloin (464541) rubbed with Chipotle Seasoning (275251) and a little olive oil. Then I slow grilled to reach an internal temperature of 145 F. (You can pre-cook and cool.) Once sliced, I used half of the tenderloin. The salad base is fresh spinach (260811) with shredded Radicchio (951879) . I also grilled some summer squash (867194), zucchini (867190) and red onions (418212) then arranged on the spinach. Pickled carrots (544595) and blistered cherry tomatoes (423589) add great color. Finish with crispy onions (334993), PIANCONE Roasted Red Pepper Dressing (258793) and a green scallion garnish.

Arrange grilled chicken on top and surround with a CONTIGO (625682) Avocado, Roasted Corn Blend (504916), Pickled Red Onions (418212), Pickled Carrots (544595), sliced radishes (866537), West Creek Croutons (321335) and Village Garden Caesar Dressing (158911).

FACTS

THE PERFECT PAIR: You also want to consider that these shareable plates will be enjoyed with wine, beer, or cocktails, so they should be designed to complement those flavors with ingredients that pair well together.

Including snacks on your bar menu can be a clever and cost-effective way to boost sales. Guests will appreciate thoughtful options that they can order while enjoying a beverage, and in turn, they’ll stick around longer and order more drinks — a win-win! Here are a few strategies for incorporating snacks, small plates, and shareables into your bar menu.

a limited special and see how folks respond to it before putting it on the main menu. It’s also a great way to entice diners to try LTOs and exclusives before everyone else, appealing to the value of being first and/or being in the know, which is a huge priority for some guests, especially those guests that tend to share their experiences on social media.

KEEP IT COHESIVE

BACK IT UP WITH SERVICE

From our research across the industry, we’ve found that your beverage program and food menus should be part of one conversation. They should make sense together so that a guest’s experience feels cohesive no matter where they’re dining with you. One way to accomplish this is to cross-utilize ingredients like fresh herbs in food and cocktails. Focusing on a specific type of cuisine and aligning beverages with that cuisine will also help this effort. You want the style of both food and drink to reflect the vibe of your restaurant, so if you’re known for having particularly refined cocktails, your bar food should mirror that. Likewise, if your food is known for being big and bold, your beverages should align with that format and those flavors.

THE HAPPIEST OF HOURS A good happy hour should be about more than just drinks. Your bar snacks should get a spotlight during happy hour as well. One smart idea is to offer BOGO (buy one, get one) specials or Pick-Two combos that encourage guests to try multiple bar snacks and other menu items. Consider the food that people like to eat during happy hour — cheese and charcuterie plates, oysters on the halfshell, and sliders are a few classic options.

SHARE-WORTHY EXCLUSIVES 24

provisions July / August 2022

The bar menu is a great place to beta test dishes, including exclusives that are only available at the bar. This is a nice way to run

If food is part of your bar program, it’s important that your service in the bar area lives up to the standard you’ve set in the rest of the dining room. Bartenders should greet guest and provide a menu as soon as possible. Too often, when bar staff become busy with other customers, those guests who are eating can be forgotten. The greeting can be a good time to communicate with guests if it’s particularly busy or if there may be a wait. It’s important to train bar staff to be able to accommodate the needs of these guests, so the experience is a positive one that makes them want to come back and share the news with friends.

SMALL BITES, BIG FLAVORS Small plates, snacks, and shareable foods are ideal for bar menus because they increase the length of guest visits, and they drive up check prices due the fact that people usually order more than one item at a time. For these reasons, adding small snacks and shareable plates to your bar menu is a smart move. You also want to consider that these foods will be enjoyed with wine, beer, or cocktails, so they should be designed to complement those flavors with ingredients that pair well together.

THE LEGEND CONTINUES It all began in a small New Jersey beach town in the mid-1950s. But going back even further, the legend of Roma® traces its roots back to Italy, where founder Louis G. Piancone was raised and where his passion for authentic culinary excellence was born. From this humble, hard-working background more than 65 years ago, Mr. P’s dream evolved into the Roma family of brands, a powerhouse in Italian-style cooking and the central ingredient that has enabled Performance Foodservice to become the leading pizza and Italian distributor in the industry. Inherent in the Roma history is a commitment to quality, consistency, and customer service, which is why we are the number one choice for independent pizzeria owners across the United States.

ROLLING IN DOUGH Cheese, sauce, and toppings represent a pizzaiolo’s artistic vision. But dough is the golden-brown canvas for pizza creativity. It’s well-known that different regions and cities have their own preferences: New York-style is known for its hand-tossed dough; Chicago – its deep-dish crust; Detroit is characterized by square, Sicilian-style slices. The Performance team of pizza chefs and master pizzaiolos is renown for their expertise in Italian-style pies, from popular Neapolitan, featuring tomatoes and mozzarella, to the thin, crispy crunch of Roman slices. But whether you specialize in a thin crust, a buttery thick slice, or gluten-free options, we have a number of flour products that yield dough to your exact specifications. This includes the growing popularity of cleaner label unbleached and unbromated flours, imported and domestic. We have 00 and 0-graded flour for all oven types and temperatures. And Performance offers crusts for quick-serve, made-to-order, and full-service operations, all while maintaining the fresh taste that consumers expect. With authentic, premium products and convenient, frozen options, we can help you create the perfect crust that delivers love at first bite.

For many consumers, the ideal pizza crust is thinner in the middle, with a rim that balloons slightly to give it that all important crunch. 34

provisions July / August 2022


A SNAPSHOT OF PERFORMANCE FLOUR BRANDS ROMA® — Comes in a variety of formulations, from patent to high-gluten with pack sizes up to 50 pounds. Often used as an excellent go-between flour. The flagship brand offers the benefits of greater dough tolerance over an all-purpose flour with a softer mouth-feel than a high-0 flour. Highlighted by an imported option sourced directly from Italy, Roma flour competes well with national brands and works with wood-fired or coal-fired applications. LUIGI® HIGH-GLUTEN ENRICHED — Flour with a slightly higher protein level that is ideal for thin/thicker crusts and specialty breads. Minimizes the soakage of sauce into the crust, preserving the desired crunch. This is a longtime, established product in the Roma family and cooks well in deck and convectional ovens. ASSOLUTI!® PREMIUM HIGH-GLUTEN — This yields a tolerant, strong dough, capable of making a thin, crisp crust with a nice bite. Also a consistent performer that cooks well in deck and convectional ovens.

Our Ultimo!

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Hey, it’s a restaurant – and crazy things are going to happen. Our decades of experience in pizza means that we’ve pretty much seen it all, and we’ve fixed it all. We’ve got dedicated service representatives to help you tackle any issues that may arise. Here are a few troubleshooting examples:

38

provisions July / August 2022

Why is the dough bubbling?

Yeast brands act differently, it could be old or bad yeast, or simply a lack of sufficient proof time. Bubbling could result from poor kneading, rolling, or docking of dough.

Why is the crust too thin or why does it have holes?

Maybe the pies have been left standing too long, the sauce has seeped through the dough and is sticking to the screen. It could be that the bake pan was improperly oiled, causing it to stick to the crust.

Why is the crust sticking to the deck?

This may be caused by a wet dough ball. There could be sauce on the bottom or splashes from when it was placed in the oven – staff should use less sauce.

Why is there a light bottom on a pan pizza?

The pan may not have been seasoned properly, the temperature was perhaps too low, or it may have been too short a bake time.

What do I do if the cheese gets too brown?

Reduce the temperature of your oven and be sure you have fresh, good quality cheese. Older cheese tends to brown more quickly than fresh product. Note the time and temperature that give the best results. Based on your oven, you may want to reduce the temperature and extend the baking time to reduce too much browning.

The crust is not browning or getting crispy, what should I do?

Make certain you’ve thawed the dough properly and allowed it to reach room temperature before baking. Try baking your crust on a pizza screen or perforated pan. Be sure that you’re applying enough bottom heat to the crust and that you aren’t baking the product too quickly. Also, the more age you give the dough, the crispier the crust.

WHY USE PORTION CONTROL OR CUT STEAKS? OUR 3-STEP COMMITMENT TO QUALITY 1. Sourcing Quality 2. Proper Aging 3. Ensuring Consistency

All ‘CHOICE’ is not created equal. We maintain strong partnerships with Midwest meat packing companies.

Our attention to detail and hand-cut operation ensures our customers receive exactly what they are looking for.

CONSISTENCY

Uniform sizing means uniform cooking times and plate presentation.

CONTROL YOUR COSTS

Portioned steaks reduce labor needs, waste, and costly byproducts that you would otherwise have to find a use for. Smaller case sizes mean tighter inventory controls.

SAFETY

Reduce the risk of injuries, accidents, and contamination by letting us do the cutting. Our processing facility is USDA inspected and adheres to strict H.A.A.C.P. guidelines.

5 strategies

Even before the pandemic, finding the perfect talent to round out your restaurant staff was challenging. With local competitors vying for the same candidates, it’s important to ensure your restaurant is doing everything it can to attract potential employees. That includes having a wellrounded recruitment strategy. If you’re looking for new ways to reach potential cooks or waitstaff, here are a few ideas to consider adding to your current recruiting efforts.

EMPLOYEE REVIEWS One easy way to improve your chances of hiring high-quality employees is to solicit reviews from your current staff. In fact, not having reviews on websites like Glassdoor or Indeed can hurt your chances of hiring a potential team member. According to Glassdoor, more than 70% of people read company reviews before making a career decision. Having your employees discuss what working at the restaurant is like can help reassure potential candidates when deciding whether to accept a job offer. Another great way to use a staffing website in your recruiting efforts is to respond to any reviews that your current or former staff members leave. By responding to each positive or negative comment, you will show potential team members that you care about their feedback.

TWEAK YOUR DESCRIPTIONS Most restaurants are guilty of using a generic job description when they have an opening. Instead of going the traditional route of writing a paragraph about the job and a couple of bullet points, try to list out why your restaurant is a better place to work than all the other eateries in the city. Do you offer certain perks for the staff? Are there competitions for waitstaff with prizes? Do employee family members get a discount? Whatever makes your business unique, make sure to include it in the job description.

THE POWER OF VIDEO

While larger organizations often use video for recruitment purposes, that doesn’t mean that it can’t benefit your restaurant business. Videos that either demonstrate your culture or show the day in the life of a team member can be a great selling point for potential candidates.

FOR

RESTAURANT RECRUITMENT

You may also try recording some of your current staff and allowing them to discuss what they like the most about working at the restaurant. Hearing firsthand about what the job will be like is often an excellent way to attract talent.

FORECAST SEASONAL HIRING Generally, there are times throughout the year when you will need to bring on additional staff to assist with the busy season. Some restaurants could add more chefs and waitstaff during the holidays, while other establishments might need more team members over the summer. One way to prepare for seasonal hiring is to perform a labor forecast at the beginning of the year. This forecast will allow you to predict when to hire additional staff throughout the year so that your team isn’t short-staffed.

WORK WITH A STAFFING PARTNER While owners and managers are excellent when it comes to the operations of a restaurant, it can be more challenging to balance recruiting efforts on top of daily tasks. Relying on a recruiting partner or program like Qwick can be a great way to get the support you need to find the perfect candidates. Qwick is a trusted staffing platform that can fill shifts instantly with highly vetted industry professionals.
