Regaining Control in a Shifting Labour Market

November 24, 2023

"Help Wanted" signs are ubiquitous across the country, yet positions go unfilled.

Culinary Solutions 

Entegra’s culinary experts regularly advise clients on the products and services that can reduce labour requirements and improve efficiencies. 

  • Product selection - Reduce your reliance on manual labour by using pre-cut French fries, par-baked bread products, or shelf-stable bases for soups and sauces. 

  • Speed scratch - By combining high-quality prepared-food products with those made from scratch, operators save time and labour and let high-skilled culinary staff be deployed where more it they’re effective. 

  • Time-in-motion studies - Study how long your team takes to complete tasks to uncover the best way your kitchen and team should work together to maximize productivity. Part of this will be evaluating an optimal kitchen layout.  

  • Convenience foods - Enhance your food offerings with turnkey, convenient and on-trend meal, and snack solutions. Add pre-made sandwiches, parfaits and more with minimal effort and investment with programs like Entegra’s Grab ‘n Go service. 

  • Streamline Menu – Take pressure off your kitchen by reducing the options on the menu. You can also lower the complexity of your dishes if you are struggling to find skilled labour.  

  • Turn to your Freezer - Batch cooking and freezing offer quick solutions from the freezer. Cooking from frozen can be done by low skill members of your team, allowing your experienced Chef’s to focus on the more experienced tasks. This strategy can also reduce food waste.
