Grill Station Training

Objective: Cook patties to perfection with a consistent crust, proper seasoning, and speed. Maintain a clean and efficient grill for high-volume service.

Training Session:

  • Start with 6 patties per round. Repeat 3–4x.

  • Trainees should cook minimum 18–24 patties before assessment.

Cooking Steps:

  1. Place patties on hot grill (220°C).

  2. Smash with firm, even pressure for 3 seconds.

  3. Season with SoBe salt/pepper mix.

  4. After ~1 min and crust forms, flip. Season second side.

  5. Use cheese slice to wipe fat, then place on top.

  6. Once cheese melts, stack patties, drain excess fat, pass to build.

Key Points:

  • Never serve without a crust.

  • Clean between rounds: scrape and drain.

  • Temp: 75°C core (check with sanitised probe).

Batch Cooking (Peak Time):

  • Drop 6–8 patties when 3+ tickets are live.

  • Pre-toast buns, stage builds.

  • Work with build team and expo to maintain rhythm.

Hygiene:

  • Use red tools for raw meat.

  • Wash hands/change gloves between raw and ready-to-eat.
