Kitchen Planning, Equipment, and Sustainability Flashcards
type of foodservice operation: conventional
all preparation done in the place where the meals will be served
advantages: flexible menu, less storage
disadvantages: higher labor costs
conventional - centralized
set up trays close to where the food is produced; used heated/fridge carts or insulated trays

trays set up separately from production area; closer to customer
type of foodservice operation: commissary or satellite
food production and service areas are in different facilities
menu items are bulk/portioned, frozen/chilled/hot-held then delivered to service unit

disadvantages: need large equipment and transportation
type of foodservice operation: ready-prepared (cook-chill or cook-freeze)
food prepared for inventory and subsequent withdrawal; prepared well in advance
advantages: don’t need cooks every day, lower labor costs, employee turnover reduced
disadvantages: cost of large storage/space/equipment
type of foodservice operation: assembly-serve
purchase of food completely prepared (no raw food) all you have to do is thaw and heat and serve
advantages: fewer employees and no skilled cooks needed, less equipment
disadvantages: limited menu and quality

ready-prepare: 8
conventional: 5
assembly-serve: 4
