A good staff meal makes adequate use of leftovers while providing restaurant employees with a nourishing meal before a busy shift. The key to a good staff meal is variety, foresight and a little care.
Fried Rice
Fried rice makes a hearty staff meal with little overhead food cost. Not only can you make vegetarian and meat versions easily but it's a great way to use up leftover bits of vegetables or meat.
Burrito Bar
Make-your-own burritos (or tacos) provides variety and nutrition. Prepare meat, beans, rice and pico de gallo and serve with tortillas and some salad.
Holiday Leftovers
If your big Thanksgiving left you long on turkey, serve the traditional cranberry sauce, potatoes and turkey. It's traditional, but comfort food is always appreciated.
Lasagna
A good cheese-and-tomato lasagna served with salad goes a long way and will keep your cooks and servers full all night.
Enchiladas
Enchiladas are another popular staff meal choice that can be easily adapted to the leftovers on hand at any given time. Cheese and hot sauce toppings will make make any variety taste great.
