MY TABLE OF CONTENTS
Ivan’s started off as a small business on Algonquin called Ted's chip stand and of course a person named Ivan had bought the chip stand off of ted hence the name Ivan’s. After buying the chip stand they moved it from Algonquin to O'Brien street where Colonel Hoagies is now, shortly after a man named Claude Ledoux had bought Ivan’s and moved its location in to the plaza where it is now and Claude’s Daughter Christina Walkling is the current owner/manager of Ivan’s. Ivan’s has been around for more then Twenty years and has been around long enough to say that it is a North Bay tradition.
History of Ivan’s
• In the mornings I peel and
chip potatoes usually
around 400 to 600 hundred
pounds depending on the
day. In the afternoon I am
given a prep list and I
prepare whatever is on
there for the cooks to cook,
usually most of the
preparation is spent using
the robo coupe the robo
coupe is meant for cutting
and shredding I usually
make home fries shred
mozzarella and cabbage
with the robo coupe almost
everyday. Once in a while
I'm on board and I usually
do fries to help the cooks
out during a rush.
What I usually do at work
This is a potato peeler
I usually use one of
these every day. Its
pretty simple to use
you just plug it in turn
it on and stick potatoes
in the top and open the
hatch on the side after
a few seconds and
potatoes will just fall
out. The small thing
beside it is a potato
chipper after I peel all
the potatoes I have to
chip them all with one
of those into a big tub.

There's a lot of math involved In being a prep cook You have to have all your prep done on time and always be on
your feet.Usually a prep cook is in a half hour or at least ten minutes
early to prepare.Every bit of food is measured out into pounds, grams,Tbsp…
etc. Into separate baggies or buckets.The prep cooks usually have to use a scale or measuring cups
to measure out all the food except for potato’s they come in 50 pound bags.
On a slow day a prep cook is expected to chip and peel around 400 pounds of potatoes, on a busy day 600
All meat slicing has to be done by 10:00 before lunch rush, if not there could be a lot of problems.
Expectations
Where? My independent study task Obviously took place at Ivan’s in the back kitchen In the prep area.
Why? My independent Study task was beneficial to My self because now I know how to be able to price food if I ever owned a restaurant or was in the restaurant business.
Details,cont…..
Who?- I was of course involved in the independent study as well as Christina , Mike, Grace, Zack, Amanda, Carmen. They all helped train me and teach me about Ivan’s.
What?- for my independent study task I decided to make it on the economics behind the kitchen and knowing how a restaurant makes profit in order to stay in business.
When? I conducted my independent study task between 10:00 and 11:00 while working at Ivan’s
Details
My independent study is on Kitchen economics since I couldn’t really ask Christina to tell me how much she makes in the restaurant I figured I would give an example on a smaller scale.
I started my independent study by pricing everything that would go into a clubhouse sandwich.
Bread costs $1.99 for 20 slices Tomato’s cost $1.45 for 3 Lettuce was $1.25 a head Chicken was $4.84 for 3 chicken breasts. Bacon was $3.99 and I estimated it would make 8 sandwiches. Cheese slices $2.99 for 16 slices. Mayo was $3.99 and I estimated you could put mayo on 100
sandwiches. Mustard was $1.00 and I estimated that you could put mustard on 75
sandwiches. Toothpicks were $1.00 for 650
My Independent study
What I did after I priced the food was some simple algebra.1. Bread: 1.99/20=$0.10x3=$0.302. Tomato: 1.45/3=49/2=$0.253. Lettuce: 1.25/20=$0.064. Bacon: 3.99/8=$0.505. Chicken: 4.84/3=1.61/2=$0.806. Cheese Slices: 2.99/16=$0.19x2=$0.37.7. Mayo= 3.99/100=$0.048. Mustard= 1.00/75=$0.019. Tooth Picks= 1.00/650=0.0015x4=0.006 or half a cent.10. The over all price of everything together is$2.30x3= $6.90
My independent study
Lets say I own a sandwich shop that only sells clubhouses for 6.99 a sandwich. The shop is open from 8:00am to 12:00 pm everyday, I have two employees and they both work 8 hours for $10.25 an hour. Each day from 8 till 12 we get 100 customers how much profit am I making.
The 2 employees: 8 hours x $10.25=$82x2 employees=$164
I sell each sandwich for $6.90x 100 customers=$690$690.oo-$164.00=$526.00 a dayI make 526 a day this would go towards paying for the
place and restocking the food and whatever is left over I keep.
My independent study
How to make a clubhouse
This is how to make a clubhouse.
1. Get a decent size baking sheet
and cook one peace of chicken
breast in the oven at 350 degrees for
twenty minutes flip it over in ten.
2.Get your bacon started take how
much you think you would need for
the sandwich lets say 4 slices and
cook them in a skillet on moderate
heat on your stove until crispy.
3. Prepare your lettuce and tomato
for a sandwich you will probably
need half a tomato cut into 3 cm
slices and 2 small chunks of ice burg
lettuce.
4.Toast 3 slices of bread and lay
them flat on your table and put mayo
and mustard on all of them.
5. You put you lettuce on one slice
and tomato on the other and put
your two slices on whatever side.
6. Put chicken on the bottom and
bacon on top stick your tooth picks
in each corner and quarter your
sandwich into 4 even pieces.
