​Review Staff Schedules

• Avoid overstaffing especially during slow periods of each day
• Hire the experience for the task
• Cross-train your staff
• Consider two part time employees for 1 full time employee to fill spots and help with work fatigue

​Research Prepared Products

• Research items like Sous Vide or Speed Scratch products and ready-cut produce, no boil pastas, thaw and serve breads, frozen or RTU Sauces/ Soups to reduce raw material costs and provide consistent flavor profiles.
• These items can reduce preparation time/staff needs.
• US Foods has a prep saving produce calculator https://www.usfoods.com/great-food/great-food-resources/prep-saving-produce-calculator.html

​Consider Micro-Markets

• Micro markets may allow reduced hours for higher service/labor options.  This may meet the needs of staff and active living residents.
• Micro markets have the potential to generate commission if part of a vending program.
