Many restaurants struggle with cooking food fast enough. As a result, they serve their customers late, and customers are dissatisfied. You can fix this problem by using pre-cooking. It's a simple technique that many restaurants overlook. Today we're going to explain how pre-cooking can fix this problem at your restaurant!
1. Pre-Cooking Pre-cooking means preparing your ingredients before cooking or food preparation stages that we can complete before customers make their orders. Pre-cooking includes preparing vegetables, sauces, curry ingredients, Yum ingredients, etc. An example of a menu item for which you can prepare its sauce beforehand is fish in chili sauce. You can prepare your chili sauce ahead of time. As for a boiled menu item such as spicy and sour pork soup, you can prepare pork and boil it before customers arrive. Even for Yum dishes, you can prepare Yum sauce beforehand and cook some ingredients and just scald them and mix the ingredients together for serving after customers make their orders.
| 2. You Can Serve Faster When your ingredients are prepared, in addition to saving cooking time, you can save the energy of your chefs and helpers in the kitchen, while serving your orders with very little waiting time. Speed of service is one of the major factors causing your customers to return. Once your restaurant uses pre-cooking and your service system improves, you will be able to add new menu items to your restaurant boost sales. 3. You Can Control Your Recipes, Cost & Ingredients It's probably meaningless to make food that can be served quickly, but tastes horrible. So, pre-cooking can be used to help solve the problem of inconsistent flavors in food prepared in a rush or made with emphasis on fast cooking and flavoring. Because preparing food in a rush makes it difficult to maintain consistency between each dish, we recommend using pre-cooking in the form of ingredient packs you can prepare and season in portions ahead of time. You can calculate the amount of ingredients for each serving and prepare them in packs. You could put them in zip-lock bags or boxes. For example, you could pack boiled spaghetti by weight per plate, and when customers make an order, you can prepare the food right away. |
