How often should you calibrate yourself on the slicer for weighing subs?

Calibrating the slicer for weighing subs is crucial to ensure that you are achieving the correct portion sizes consistently. By calibrating every shift, you ensure that the scale remains accurate throughout the day. Variations can occur due to factors such as wear and tear, temperature changes, or even leftover food particles affecting the weight measurements. Regular calibration at the start of each shift helps maintain precision in food preparation, which is vital for customer satisfaction and adhering to portion control standards. This practice minimizes the risk of discrepancies that could arise if calibration is only done less frequently, such as weekly or monthly, which may lead to inconsistencies in food preparation and service.
