Roles of the Salad and Dessert Station As a member of the Malawi s Pizza Team, you will learn how to make over a dozen different salads and desserts. Don t worry. We ll get to that. But first, we want you to understand how the salad station works with the other kitchen stations. Kitchen Overview and Flow When customers arrive at the cashier station, they have the option of choosing pizza, pasta, salad, dessert or a combination of those food items. As an employee, it then becomes your responsibility to make the food as quickly as possible, maintain the exact specifications of the food, or modify the product according to the customer s order. Pizza and pasta are both served hot and take a few more minutes to prepare than salads. So, the salad station has some unique challenges in timing the preparation of the food so that it is not sitting, waiting for the hot food to be finished. All of the kitchen stations need to work together to make that happen. Look at the bubble diagram below that describes the flow of the kitchen: Customers approach the cashier and order their food. Cashier places order into the computer system. Food orders are delivered to one of three stations: PIZZA, PASTA, SALAD & DESSERT Team member prepare their food. PIZZA and PASTA STATIONS deliver prepared food to oven and then to the EXPO STATION. SALAD & DESSERT STATION deliver prepared food directly to the EXPO STATION. Food is delivered from the kitchen to the dining room and presented to the guest. Below are examples of what the Salad & Dessert Station may look like in the restaurant. It is important to remember that the layout and set-up of each station may be different in the restaurant in which you work. However, the basic flow as you saw above and processes for building the different salads and desserts will be the same.

Before plating, make sure that each plate is clean and sanitized. Make sure that the ingredients used to make the salads and desserts are fresh and prepared correctly. As you work through the ingredients and equipment, refill items from prepared ingredients stored in the walk-in refrigerator or the station reach-in refrigerators. Avoid using the large cambros to refill or restock the line as they can look bulky and unsightly to our guests. Do not mix items that have been sitting on the line with new ingredients brought from the refrigerators. Communicate with the preparation team or manager to let them know in a timely manner which ingredients are low in order to prevent running out of any item. As you become more familiar with the ingredients, learning how to prepare the ingredients will be helpful. Take personal responsibility in keeping the station clean and organized. Clean equipment is kept on a shelf close to the dishwashing station. Develop a regular pattern of rotating used equipment to the dishwashing station and replacing it with clean, sanitized equipment.

From our food, to our customer service, to our charitable donations, we want to create an experience for our guests that will delight the senses and satisfy the soul. We need your help to put these goals into action and define the Malawi s Experience. These training modules are designed with these purposes in mind.

Know how to read a recipe. I. Understand units of measurement used for each ingredient. J. Realize that recipe modifications may be dictated by our customers. K. Practice measuring ingredients. Reading a Recipe Enclosed in this packet is the menu build for the Strawberry & Spinach Salad. Notice that it is divided into three sections: 1. Mise en Place/Recipe lists the individual ingredients and the unit of measure used to build this specific salad. Salad & Dessert Training Modules Reading Recipes & Units of Measure Malawi s Pizza Enterprises Proprietary Information DO NOT COPY V.17.1

2. Instructions list the ingredients, their unit of measure, and the order followed to combine ingredients and construct menu items. It also lists the ingredients added by the EXPO STATION after the salad has been plated. 3. Diagram lists the order of designing the ingredients on the plate in order to meet the exact specifications found in the Salad & Dessert Station Ingredient Builds. Menu item recipes (Menu Builds) are available at the Salad & Dessert Station. The Build sheet provides instructions for both the Full and Half sized salads. Remember to pay close attention to the order specifications so you are building the correct size. Dessert Recipes are organized the same as the salad with the following additions: 1. Dough or Crust is cooked first, then ingredients are added. A cooked crust must be delivered from the Pizza Station (to the Oven Station) prior to construction at the Salad & Dessert Station. Units of Measure Ingredients are listed and, therefore, measured according to two standards: each or ounce. 1. Each identifies a whole or previously portioned food unit identified separately and individually. For example, 1 Each MP White Pizza Dough identifies 1(one) pre-formed dough ball as delivered to the restaurant. It can be portioned in half to construct a half-dessert recipe. 10 each Grape Tomatoes means to count 10 (ten) pre-portioned, individual whole units of tomato and add to the menu item construction. 2. Ounce or oz. (for food ingredients) refers to a specific unit of weight for each ingredient. Each ingredient will have a unique weight or portion that adds to the menu item construction. The best way to become familiar with these unique proportions is to weight each ingredient on a scale. Accuracy is important because it helps maintain food quality and food cost. Visually, one ounce is approximately the size of a poker chip and two ounces equals the size of a golf ball. 3. Volume or vol. (for liquid ingredients) refers to a specific unit of volume for each ingredient. Ingredients such as oil or salad vinaigrettes cannot be portioned accurately by using a scale. Instead, they should be measured using a volume metric cup, tablespoon, or ladle. Recipe Modifications Although every food item offered at Malawi s Pizza has a pre-determined recipe that needs to be followed accurately, customers often request modifications to the recipe due to food allergies, diets or preferences. We want to meet their dietary needs. During the ordering process, our cashiers will work to identify those modifications and recipe changes will be indicated on a ticket order displayed at on the SALAD & DESSERT STATION screen or POS display (point of sale system). Please read each order carefully, prior to constructing the menu item, in order to offer excellent customer service and minimize food loss. It is disappointing to customers to not receive their food items as ordered. Please help us maintain customer expectations by preparing it as they order it.

Now, that you have completed the four initial training modules, you are ready to begin working on the line. Make sure that you are working with a partner. This is your trainer, and he/she will take you through the three learning tasks. Salad & Dessert Training Modules Shadow Training Malawi s Pizza Enterprises Proprietary Information DO NOT COPY V.17.1

Task A: Build Salads With your trainer, learn the following tasks: Location of hand washing sink and gloves (wash and glove hands) Location of required equipment including mixing bowls and chilled plates Identify required temperatures to maintain food quality Location of station ingredients How to refill depleted ingredients Appropriate portioning of ingredients Accessing recipes and built standards Build time expectations Shadow Once you know this information, watch your trainer complete these tasks on at least two salad orders. Pay attention to the portioning rations of ingredients. If you build salads too small, then the customers are disappointed with their food. If you build them too big, then the restaurant loses money. Build Salads Ask your trainer to watch you build two salads. Now, spend the next 30-45 fulfilling salad builds they are ordered. Learn how the orders appear on the POS system, and ask your trainer to show you how to identify salad orders and time count. Plate salads on a chilled plate, building up the lettuce in the center of the plate maintaining consistency with build design standards. Ask questions as they come to mind. We expect food fulfillment to be less than 7 minutes from time of order to table delivery. That means that we need to build the salads in less than 4 minutes. Task B: Build Dessert Pizzas With your trainer, learn the following tasks: Location of required equipment Receiving of cooked pizza crust from OVEN STATION Access recipes and build standards Spreading of base creams on the pizza crust Location of different types of sauces and ingredients How to refill depleted ingredients and maintain temperatures Portion rations of ingredients Location of clean/dirty equipment including rags Location of clean plates Shadow Once you know this information, watch your trainer build at least two dessert pizzas. Notice how the base cream is spread around the pizza leaving ½ inch of dough exposed evenly around the crust. Begin spreading from the center of the pizza, and, in a circular pattern, create an even, smooth layer of the base cream. Pay careful attention to the required number of ingredients for each pizza build. Salad & Dessert Training Modules Shadow Training Malawi s Pizza Enterprises Proprietary Information DO NOT COPY V.17.1

Build Dessert Pizzas Work together with your trainer to build at least 2 dessert pizzas. Learn how the orders appear on the POS system, and ask trainer to show you how to identify dessert pizza orders and time count. Dessert Pizzas are usually delivered to the table a few minutes after the ordered entrée items. Learn about the appropriate timing expectations for preparation and delivery of desserts. Spend the remainder of your work shift building pizzas as they are ordered. Ask questions as they come to mind. It is important to build attractive food using the right amount of ingredients, but it is also important to do it quickly. Work to maintain a constant, steady build flow. Task C: Deliver Menu Items to EXPO STATION This task is done in tandem with tasks A & B. As salads and dessert pizzas are built, check to make sure that no one is walking behind you and deliver the prepared menu item to the EXPO STATION Operator. This is also a good time to review your workspace, and see if it needs to be wiped down, swept, cleaned or dirty equipment delivered to DISH STATION or if depleted ingredients need to be replenished. Because we are in an open kitchen environment, please pay attention to keeping the SALAD & DESSERT STATION clean and well stocked. Conclusion Well done! You ve completed your first day on the job. Keep up the good work. Salad & Dessert Training Modules Shadow Training Malawi s Pizza Enterprises Proprietary Information DO NOT COPY V.17.1
