Eliminate Mystery Meat Monday!

 Do you dread Mystery Meat Mondays?  Of course you do!  Seriously, what is in that?  It’s definitely not meat…Some grinders/choppers make your meat indistinguishable once it has been ground up, so it is important to make sure you invest in a grinder that makes your food maintain it’s natural colors and flavors.

The Chefmate Meat Grinder/Chopper from Globe is a heavy-duty chopper designed for commercial food operations and can easily grind beef, pork, venison, and poultry while maintaining the meats natural color and flavor.  It can process up to 250 lbs of meat per hour!  The CC12 model is easy to use and can grind the heaviest of meats without slipping or causing an unnecessary mess.  Free shipping too!

Counteract with Your Countertop

 As much as I love the line equipment in my restaurant, my kitchen would not be able to function 100% of the time without my additional countertop cooking equipment.  I love my countertopbecause we often have overflow of items and need additional cooking space.  The best thing about the countertop equipment is that you can use it in both your restaurant and/or catered events.

The additional Countertop equipment is great for holidays or special events where an establishment may be cooking more food then normal.  I like the Globe Countertop Cooking Equipment because they offer charbroilers, griddles and hotplates in a variety of sizes, cooking methods and models so you can choose which one works best for you.  The charbroilers and griddles come in four sizes and the hot plates are offered in 2, 4 and even 6 burner sizes and can be easily utilized in most locations.

The equipment is all made of stainless steel and perfect for versatile usage in your prep areas, next to the line, or in places that you may be catering at that don’t have actual kitchen equipment. 

As you know, Restaurant Source doesn’t mess around when it comes to discount prices!  All of these Globe equipment pieces come with free shipping so you can save even more!

Everyone Loves Free Food, But Why Would You Give It Away Without Your Customers Knowledge??

 One of the most important things in a restaurant is consistency. You don’t want to offer a 6 oz steak on the menu, but then serve an 8 oz portion to your guests because:

1. You are losing money.
2. People always prefer larger portions, so if you are going to serve a larger portion and not promote it, well… Do I really have to explain the problem with that…?
3. If you are going to serve 8 oz one time, the guest will complain the next time when they order the steak and it looks smaller to them (because it is actually 6 oz) and they are paying the same price.
4. Someone else at the table may have ordered the same steak, but received a smaller portion and therefore will ask why their meal is smaller then the other person’s. You don’t want to have to explain to them that you didn’t take enough care in your kitchen to pre-measure your portion sizes…

Of course, these are not only reasons, but not to worry, there is an extremely easy solution!!  Commercial Food Scales are a great way to ensure consist and accurate portion sizes in restaurant kitchens, prepared food counters, cafeterias, etc.  The Globe Food Service Scales are my favorite because they are extremely well priced and easy to read.  You have the option of a scale that can hold up to 30 lbs and compute individual prices or a scale that can hold up to 11 lbs which is great for prep kitchens.

Price Computing scales are perfect for prepared food counters, delis, etc. because it allows you to calculate the price of a product based on its specific price/lb and the actual weight you are selling.  They are legal for trade and you don’t have to worry about human error!  The battery is rechargeable and the machine automatically shuts off when not in use.  Some models offer the option of printing corresponding labels.

If you are using the scale just for pre-measuring portion sizes, you can go with a Digital Portion Control Scale.  This scale has a removable stainless steel weighing platter so it is easy to clean should you choose to put food directly on it.  You have the option of computing the weight in pounds, kilograms or grams, making it easy to translate recipe measurements.

The pros completely outweigh the cons of a potential loss of customers.  If you are going to lose customers, it better be because of your food quality or bad service, but not because they are angered by the inconsistency of your establishment, something that can so easily be fixed.
