STRATEGIES TO MANAGE A LABOUR
SHORTAGE IN FOODSERVICE
OPTIMIZE MENU OFFERINGS: Simplify the menu by focusing on core items that are easy to prepare and popular with residents. Reducing the complexity and variety can help streamline kitchen operations and minimize the need for specialized skills.
STREAMLINE FOOD PREPARATION PROCESSES: Review and optimize food preparation processes to eliminate unnecessary steps. This might include pre-portioning ingredients, using time-saving kitchen tools, or reorganizing the kitchen layout for better efficiency.
OFFER LIMITED-TIME SPECIALS: Introduce limited-time specials that are quick and easy to prepare. These specials can help manage expectations and keep the menu fresh while accommodating limited staffing.
USE READY-TO-EAT PRODUCTS: Incorporate ready-to-eat products that require minimal preparation, such as pre-cooked meats, ready-made sauces, and pre-cut vegetables. These items can help maintain menu variety while reducing the workload on the kitchen staff. More detailed strategies are available on the next page.
USE SIMPLIFIED COOKING METHODS: Opt for cooking methods that require less active monitoring, such as slow cooking or batch cooking. These methods can help reduce the demand on kitchen staff during peak hours.
EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE DISHWARE SOLUTIONS: Using disposable dishware and cutlery can significantly reduce the time and effort spent on dishwashing. This can be particularly useful in maintaining efficiency during peak times or when staff is limited.
IMPLEMENT BULK PREPARATION: Identify opportunities for bulk preparation of menu items. For instance, preparing two days' worth of sandwiches or cooking pasta in large quantities can save time and reduce the daily workload.
CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF LABOR: When kitchen staff is limited, adopt an "all hands on deck" approach by utilizing staff from other departments. Additionally, compile a contact list of local foodservice staff who can be called upon as backup. Always ensure adequate training is provided to all staff members involved.
CROSS-TRAIN STAFF: Train staff to handle multiple roles within the kitchen and dining areas. Crosstraining ensures that staff can step in where needed, helping to cover gaps and maintain smooth service.
LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY: Utilize technology to enhance efficiency such as automated inventory management, and kitchen display systems. These tools can reduce manual work and improve interdeparmental communication.
