I don't think it saves all that much time, or that labels made with painters' tape with dick drawings hidden on them need to look all that neat. My thing was cooks who'd take out the garbage without immediately replacing the bag (as in, BEFORE running the full bag outside). It's frustrating because tossing trash in the line garbage can is so habitual that you don't really want to think about whether there's no bag in there. But inevitably some dumbass would go "I'll replace it when I come back in" and then end up having a smoke while taking out the trash, and I end up having to stop what I'm doing, pull trash from the bottom of a bagless bin, and replace the bag. Garbage shouldn't be a two-person job.

Replaced the paprika in the sweet potato fries with cayenne. Less of a miss-read and more of "grabbed the wrong giant container of red powder." Personally I think it was the best batch I ever made, but it wasn't the product we advertised and sold so I had to make another 20lb batch first thing when I came in the next day (bulk, pre-packaged health food instead of line cook).

I cannot fathom how people who have never cut tape come to the conclusion that its slower than tearing tape. And make a big stink about how much that should matter. Maybe try it and see? Lets say I know I need 50 labels today You're telling me that tearing 50 pieces of tape off a roll throughout the day is somehow faster than taking three long strips, placing them in parallel, and drawing a sharp knife across 18 times? It takes thirty seconds to do this, and every label is ready for the day on a dedicated board. I've seen prep label work done every kind of way imaginable and this is the most efficient. OR you can interrupt what you're doing 50 times in a day to tear tape off a roll? This is somehow the fast way?

Coming back into the kitchen after taking out the trash to see chef and sous about to shank each other during a red-faced argument about the most efficient way to label.  I hated the clowns that didn't immediately replace the liners too because everybody knew every trip to the dumpster at that job involved a 5 minute break.

The most efficient is to have one person rolling the tape out, one person following behind and writing on it, one person following behind to cut it, and the first person loops back around to place the tape. Meanwhile someone is supervising and someone else is asking how long until tape is up.

prayer group posted:what does this mean Picking up tape, writing a label, ripping the tape, putting tape down, applying it to the container for every label takes a poo poo load more time than doing it all in a row like an assembly line. This is an incredibly stupid conversation where half of those involved are disparaging something they've never even done as worse, and the other having done all the methods and having experience to know what they're saying. The Maestro posted:The most efficient is to have one person rolling the tape out, one person following behind and writing on it, one person following behind to cut it, and the first person loops back around to place the tape. Meanwhile someone is supervising and someone else is asking how long until tape is up. You're mostly right, except that it's the same person doing each step. You aren't seriously demonstrating the efficiency of the method as evidence of its inefficiency are you? You're better than that. I'm not commenting on this anymore.

True pros don't label anything, they can identify it all on sight. Worst case, just taste something to confirm. Ask Dave Arnold.

Pictured: a chef working diligently away at their mise en place. On the far end of the cutting table, a long line of painter's tape has been expertly placed and marked with the day's prep items. In the far background, just slightly blurred, we see a line cook surreptitiously posing his nutsack on the painter's tape. The restaurant? Wayne Gretzky's.
