VALUE ADDED BENEFITS OF
"FRESH-CUT VS. BULK PRODUCE"
• 100% usable product
• Consistent quality
• Saves time and labor dollars
• Reduces the potential for cutting injuries
• Saves valuable storage space
100% USABLE PRODUCT
When you purchase a case of pre-cut produce, you know exactly what your yield will be for that case. If you purchase a case of iceberg head lettuce, your yield can vary from case to case, directly affecting your food cost. The pre-cut product provides a predictable number of proportions per bag with little variance on a year round basis allowing you to plan and price your items consistently and effectively without worrying about increasing your food cost.
CONSISTENT QUALITY
Increased product uniformity and consistency is there because it does not allow for human error or depend upon the person cutting the product on that particular day. And product uniformity is ideal for food service and operations that mandate uniform plate presentation and recipe consistency. Due to the packaging of the product, there is also an increase in the shelf life of the product. Products have a shelf life of 10-14 days when stored at proper temperature of 34°F which means fewer deliveries.
SAVES TIME AND LABOR DOLLARS
Pricing programs offer stable and consistent pricing. Using fresh-cut produce requires fewer resources and eliminates the need for instruction on how to trim and clean products for minimal waste, operating the equipment, and cutting for a uniform size and appearance. Personnel now only require training on how to open, use, and store ready-to-use bags.
REDUCES THE POTENTIAL FOR CUTTING INJURIES
The fresh-cut option eliminates knives, cutters, slicers, and other equipment that can lead to costly accidents thus preventing safety concerns for employees.
SAVES VALUABLE STORAGE SPACE
Fresh-cut produce requires up to half the storage space of bulk produce and there are no trimmings to dispose of which can reduce your waste and disposal costs. Packaging is safer because there are no staples in the cartons.
