Receiving the food

Bonanza will deliver the food on Monday of build week. They will deliver the food directly to our camp on the Playa.

To prepare for their arrival we'll need to perform the following tasks:

1. Connect power to the kitchen container to start up the A/C, fridges and freezers
2. Thoroughly clean the fridges and freezers so they can receive food
3. Make sure shelf space is ready for our dry goods
4. Make available the Purchase Order so it can be compared with what's being delivered
5. Make sure a kitchen lead is present that can check all receivables match what has been ordered

This should be done first to allow the Bonanza delivery staff to leave. Do not attempt to sort the items while the staff is unloading. The goal here is to make sure we received everything we ordered, and doing any other task may confuse everybody and result in mistakes.

Sorting the food

As in previous years, food is sorted into specific days and marked for that day with the Chef's name and the day name and/or number. This should take place within the kitchen container as it is refrigerated, which means frozen goods won't thaw.

1. Go through the daily kitchen schedule and count how many items belong to that day
2. Use a fat permanent marker and mark: "Day 1 - Chef Mario" on a wide label (will be supplied), and apply to food item.
3. If it is a sensitive perishable item (fish / seafood), handle first and refrigerate immediately.
4. If it is a frozen item, immediately place it into a freezer. Frozen goods should be handled next.
5. All dry goods should be handled last.
