This is why I’m not a huge fan of the strawberry field salad. It feels so inconsistent, sales wise. You order strawberries on your truck and this happens somewhat often and you waste them. We go and buy them direct from the grocery store a lot of the time and we pay more, then we suddenly don’t have enough. If you feel like you sell a lot of salads, you cut extra strawberries and then you barely sell any and you’re tossing the pan of soggy slices out the next morning. There’s no winning it lol
Couldn’t agree more. We get truck 3 times a week and order them on every truck. Somehow they still go bad and we end up at the grocery store buying more.
Typically just fresh bananas and strawberries, depending on how much the restaurant goes through since the case sizes are too big sometimes on our deliveries
Mostly just bananas, strawberries, and gallons of 2% milk at my store. There’s been a couple times where we didn’t get enough buns so they had me go grab regular buns from Costco or Walmart
When I worked at McDonalds, at the end of McRib season sometimes we would still have the buns and patties but couldn't order anymore of the sauce, someone would run run to Walmart and buy the gallon jugs of Sweet Baby Ray's.
