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.
