When preparing food for use in service organization is key. One of the most effective ways to keep organized is to simply make a list. A list will help keep you focused on what is priority and will keep you focused.

Another important thing to do is group your tasks together. Do this when you're putting your list for the day together. This will ensure you are working as efficiently as possible by not having to go back and forth to get the same items more than once. For instance, say you have to both slice and dice bell peppers. You should take enough peppers for both tasks. This will ensure you be able to complete all of the work you need to do with the peppers at one time, as opposed to having to retrieve more peppers halfway through your task. the same goes for all of your other chopping and dicing.

Keeping your knife sharp and honing it on a regular basis is also important. This will ensure a smooth cut which leads to being able to get into a rhythm. When you get into your rhythm you'll be able to work more quickly and effectively. It will also lead to fewer accidents and a better overall work environment.

The final key to productive food preparation is keeping a clean workspace. Cleaning as you work is a vital step in being effective at your job. Wiping down your area between tasks ensures there will be no cross-contamination and that you can always find what you're looking for, which is an effective way to stay efficient.
