Operations
Production plans, prep sheets, dining hall flow, satellite kitchens, opening and closing.
In the pipeline
This pillar is being written through the off-season, one guide a week. Coming up:
- Dining hall flow for two waves in progress
- The daily prep sheet in progress
- Opening week checklist in progress
Want these as they publish? The off-season letter sends one guide a week through the planning season.
Two ways forward
— the same module on every guide, so it reads as advice rather than an ad.You have the people
Run the kitchen on systems instead of memory
Camp Kitchen Pro holds the recipes, par levels, allergen flags and production plans, so a new crew inherits the last one’s work.
- Scale recipes to any headcount
- Allergens flagged at the ingredient
- Orders built from the menu
You cannot keep a crew
Have the whole kitchen staffed for you
Summer Camp Cooks recruits, trains and manages the crew, with a food service manager on site who owns the outcome.
- Crew recruited, trained and managed
- A food service manager on site
- Camps of 100–900 campers and staff
