How To Simplify First-In First-Out (FIFO) Rotation In Your Operation


The Importance of First-In First-Out (FIFO) rotation in Foodservice cannot be understated. It is part of the Food Safety National Standard testing program “Serv-Safe” flow-of-food. FIFO and proper food rotation strategies are a part of the USDA best practices to all their agencies, best-practices-minimize-food-waste. 

ROTATE, ROTATE, ROTATE!



Chefs cooking today know this as part of their training. It is something they all do without even thinking. Go into the walk-in and date check, rearrange cooler shelves, and check the bread. Tons and tons of things to check, how about we take one of those things to worry about, off your shoulders? The Rameking® will allow ALL your portion cups to be rotated without doing anything extra. By putting the newest portion cup into the top of the Rameking®, you are rotating your product, the oldest product is already waiting for you to grab out of the base. 


SAVING YOU MONEY 

Now, there’s no more wasted full 6th pans and stacked sheet trays of unrotated portion cups. You do not have to worry about having to constantly remind everyone to rotate the portion cups and there are even more bonuses to using the Rameking®.


SAVING EVERYONE TIME

Install the Rameking® (less than 60 seconds to open the box and put it up) ANYWHERE you want to improve efficiency. Do you have a commonly used cup that you go through at lunch or at dinner (or all the time)? Install a Rameking ® on the wall by your server station or by the kitchen expo line on any type of surface. The 3M tape we use (pre-installed on the back of every Rameking®) is incredibly strong and thick so it will adhere to about any surface. Wet, Dry, Hot, Freezer, FRP board, Tile, Wood, and about anything else. Save time from having to go into the cooler to get your sauce. Ranch, or any refrigerated item, can be out at room temperature for up to 4 hours. So, keep them out for 2 hours in your lunch rush. Or if you go through them all in less than 4 hours, keep it full as long as you are serving food!


SAVING YOUR BRAND

Your Signature Sauce is the best way to differentiate yourself from your competitors. Your own Ketchup that you make from scratch, or the buttermilk ranch that everyone asks for, or your salsa cups that go out to hundreds of people a day. What if these cups were not rotated or some cups just kept staying on the bottom of the rotation and that spoiled cup goes out and makes someone sick?? You do not want the thing you are known for to be your downfall, or at the very least to have a bad health inspection for a write up in the paper. 


PREP LISTS ARE EASIER

By using the Rameking® to properly rotate your products when you restock, you can ensure you can control one part of your business. "We take care of the things we can in our downtime so when the unexpected happens we can properly deal with them." Simply stated, prep work. At a glance, you can tell what you need. And you will not miss anything, it’s right in front of you.
