Pre-Portioned vs. DIY: What’s Best?

Some kitchens prefer to portion in-house. Others rely on us to portion by the kilo or per piece. Here's the breakdown:

Option

Pros

Cons

In-house

Full control, flexible cuts

Labour time, training required

Pre-portioned

Faster prep, consistent sizes, no waste

Less flexibility, higher per kg

The best choice? Often a mix of both.
