RECURRING TOPICS

  1. Potatoes – Contract pricing for our potatoes ended at the beginning of November.  We’ve spent the past several weeks negotiating with both McCain’s and Lamb Wesstin to get the best possible contract price for our potatoes, hash browns, and French fries.  We are pleased to report that McCain’s is now manufacturing the original hash brown that we used to purchase from them until they discontinued it a few year’s back, prompting our switch to Lamb Wesstin.  After all negotiating has been completed, we are thrilled to announce that we will be switching back to McCain’s for all three products at a significantly reduced price for all three items.

OPERATIONS MANUAL CHANGES

  1. Scramblers Official Menu Guide – In conjunction with a new menu roll-out, several changes were made to the Scramblers Official Menu Guide in the Operations Manual.  This Guide (which includes the Cook Book, Prep Book, and Recipe Book) was published last Spring as a user-friendly, hard-copy manual for all restaurants.  With the development of a new menu, it is already out-dated.  Therefore, if you were able to provide us your hard-copy book, we have updated those and are returning them to restaurants this week.  If you did not, the updated Scramblers Official Menu Guide is now available in the Library of The Coop under the Operations Manual folder called ‘Food Preparation’.  Be advised, several changes were made that need to be noted in order to execute the new menu properly.
