it’s strange that you have to put the stickers on pulled food during an opening shift ... your shift supervisors are normally suppose to put stickers on the night before when they do the pull.

You’ll get way faster the more you do it, also just start from one side and work your way over, you’ll memorize what goes where in no time

Normally when I do pastry case I work from right to left. And our SSV’s put day dots and new pastries out...when we do pastry case all we do is wash and reset it for the next day.

The gloves, get your gloves on and pick a side and work through the other

Hey! I’ve been an opener for about a year and a half, working for three.
The EASIEST way to do the case is leaving everything in their packages for pastries, and taking out the white holders for sandwiches and placing them in order; when you warm them on display setting you’ll know where they go after you finish! It’s a groove you’ll have to get down. It’s doable in 10 minutes if you can memorize everything and cut the oven on the moment you pass the door to clock on.
You can always make the oatmeal/egg bites look prettier later with the cutting and wrapping. It’s essential you prioritize pastries and the oven being on! Good luck.

I pull all of the display stands out onto to the pastry cart. Like everyone else said I work from one side to the other. When I put a pastry in the case I fifo that pastry and make sure the older pastry are in front of the pastry tray. Takes me on average 20 mins. When I have to do breakfast sandwiches takes me the full 30 mins. Stickering of the pastrys can wait till you open besides the actual pastry case stickers.
