Salad Bar When you are not attending to a guest you will need to be focused on keeping the salad bar full, fresh and clean at all times. The first thing you ll need to do is wash your hands and put on new food service gloves. All ingredients on the Salad Bar should range between 33 F - 40 F. Notify management immediately if any ingredient exceeds 40 F, as it will need to be discarded. The salad bar should be continuously monitored for cleanliness and should be wiped down at least every 5 minutes when possible. Salad bar dressing bottles should always be at least halfway full. The salad bar must be filled and flipped at the end of every shift so that the oldest product ends up on the top and used first. FIFO! Carrots should be orange and crisp with no evidence of drying out. All salad bar items should be filled to the fill line of the pans and must always be a minimum of ½ full at all times. Cherry/Grape tomatoes must be de-stemmed and washed for 60 seconds, then drained before serving. Guest Greeter Rev. Date: 6/15 2/5 P a g e
