Always clean with approved chemical cleaners.
Raw vegetables must be washed.
Raw and cooked food must be kept, handled and stored apart.
Follow the correct storage temperature for every product and check the temperature regularly.
Don’t mix fresh and older products.
Use the First in First out (FIFO) method of storing your ingredients.

Ready to grab-and-go go? Here are some tips to get you started:

FAMILIAR MEALS:

Your customers want food that is familiar, comforting and that provides them with lots of energy. Make delicious traditional food for happy customers!

BALANCED MEALS:

Meals should contain both meat and starch. Divided grab-and-go containers are a great way to offer this balance in one, convenient and portable package.

LOW COST:

Value for money and low-cost grab-and-go options are key to your customers and your profits.

HEALTHY MEALS:

VISUALLY APPEALING MEALS:
