Delivery Decision Could Cost Them A large food delivery arrived at the Sunnydale Nursing Home during the busy lunch hour. It included cases of frozen ground beef patties, canned vegetables, frozen shrimp, fresh tomatoes, a case of potatoes, and fresh chicken. Betty, the new assistant manager, thought the best thing to do was to put everything away and check it later as she was very busy. She told Ed, who was in charge of receiving, to sign for the delivery and put the food into storage. Ed asked her if it would be better to ask the delivery driver to come back later. Because she needed the chicken for dinner, Betty asked Ed to accept the delivery now, and then she went back to the front of the house. Ed put the frozen shrimp and ground beef patties in the freezer and the fresh chicken in the refrigerator. Then he put the fresh tomatoes, potatoes, and canned vegetables in dry storage. When he was finished, he went back to work in the kitchen. What was done incorrectly?
Suppliers should deliver food when staff has enough time to inspect it. Ed put the frozen shrimp and ground beef patties in the freezer and the fresh chicken in the refrigerator. Make sure that enough trained staff is available to receive and inspect food promptly. Have clean hand trucks, carts, dollies, and containers ready. Make sure there is enough space in dry-storage and walk-in areas for shipments. Timing of inspections Inspect and store each delivery before accepting another one. This will prevent temperature abuse in the receiving area.
A Decision to Make Two friends, who met in their senior year of hotel and restaurant management school, decided to become partners in a new fast-casual concept. The partners felt confident that their college and work experience had prepared them to open their new businesslong dash—something they had been dreaming of for a long time. All of the steps started to fall into place quickly. They identified a perfect location in a suburban strip mall, obtained financing, and developed a menu. The clock was ticking toward their projected opening date, yet they still had not selected their suppliers. Both partners turned their attention toward this important task.
