Job description

***RFI Response***
Funnel Cakes: Gold Medal Products1 sells the mix that is used. Following instructions printed on the mix container, pour the mix plus appropriate liquid into the commercial batter blender. Once the batter has been blended, a portion is scooped into a dispenser bottle. The deep fryer would contain cooking oil at the proper temp. Worker would slowly pour batter from dispenser bottle into the fryer so that strings of batter would cling together, forming a funnel cake. When one side of the funnel cake is brown, the worker would use a large, slotted spoon to flip the half cooked funnel cake. When the funnel cake is fully cooked the worker would use the same large, slotted spoon to pick the funnel cake from the fryer, and place into a chafing dish under heat lamp. After customer places order, worker would use tongs to place funnel cake into serving boat and add selected topping such as sugar, shipped cream, compote, chocolate sauce and/or Nutella ®, to the funnel cake and then provide the product to the customer.
Deep Fried Oreos: The same batter that was prepared for funnel cakes (above) would be used for deep fried Oreos ®. Worker would pour batter into a small chafing dish. Oreos would be picked up by gloved hand, dropped into the batter to be coated, and then dropped into the hot oil of the deep fryer. They would float to the surface, be scooped up with slotted spoon, and placed into a small chafing dish under heat lamp. After customer places order, worker would use tongs to place Fried Oreos into serving boat and add selected topping to the Oreos and then provide the product to the customer.
Fountain Soda. For a fountain drink, the worker would take the proper size cup in their hand, use an ice scoop to scoop ice into the cup (unless the patron ordered no ice), place the cup under the nozzle, press the cup against the lever and fill the cup. Take a lid from the lid supply and secure this on the top of the cup.
Lemonade, On a cutting board, the lemons would be cut in half. See through plastic cups and lids would be brought from storage. Bin of ice with ice scoop would be placed into the work area. Workers serving lemonade would stand at the front counter. After taking order, scoop ice into a cup, and squeeze Lemon Juice into the cup, using a Squeezer.
