Some may be fine as purchased
Fresh fish and poultry packed in ice

7. Arrangement of Foods Most used item readily available
Fixed definite locations
Rotation of stock
8. Location and Storage Facilities Located between receiving and preparation areas
Proper location:
Speeds the storing and issuing of foods
Maximizes security
Reduces labor requirements
9. Security Storage should limit pilferage
Storerooms should not be unlocked and unattended
Procedures should be in place to track removal of items
When not open, storage areas should be locked
Establish separate procedures for “A” items
10. Dating and Pricing Items should be dated as they are stored
Items should be priced as they are put away
Computer tracking eliminates the need

For control purposes a system for issuing must be established
13. The Requisition Form filled out by kitchen staff
Lists items needed for production
Quantities deducted from inventory
Requisitions should be submitted in advance
Definite times established for issue
Pricing the requisition
Extended to determine total value of food issued
Cost derived from item, file card, perpetual inventory record or memory
14. Importance of Training Inappropriate containers or temperature
Improper or multiple locations
Lack of rotation
Pilferage from lack of security
Poor record keeping
15. Monitoring Management should:
Inspect facilities on a regular basis
Cleanliness
Organization
Temperatures
Location
Rotation
Examine paperwork
Verify requisitions
