Calling Time:
Before the cutter passes a counter order to the front or places a delivery order in the Driver Station he must call out the time it took for the order to be completed. This is calculated by comparing the time on the invoice to the time on the wall clock and the difference is the time it took for the order to be made. No order may leave the cutting station without the time being called. The entire team, managers and driver compliment must be continually time focused.

Driver Station
The drivers station is a stainless steel piece of equipment fitted with elements to keep the product hot. It's a heated workstation that ensures the product remain hot. The cutter places all delivery and collect orders in this station. He normally passes counter orders directly to the cashiers, but if a customer is not in the store he will put the counter order in the driver station to await the customers return. Points on the driver station: 1. Always pack the latest orders closest to the counter. 2. Make sure the invoice is placed in a Debonairs Pizza bill folder or in the plastic sleeve of the Pizza Delivery bag 3. Never pack completed orders on top of other completed orders as this can lead to confusion and the drivers delivering the wrong orders. 4. Never pack cold drinks / desserts in this station or plastic packets, as they will melt. 5. All hot food items to be packed in HOT Sub or Pizza Delivery Bags with heated Acutemp discs
