Cheesy Jalapeno
Cheesy Jalapeno goes active on your registers tomorrow, 06/28! If you have not received jalapenos or cheese sauce, please use product outage. Sandwiches can start as soon as product is received.
Just wanted to share a quick message regarding the cheesy jalapeno quarter pounder. There's been some confusion around how to place the jalapenos on the sandwich. The correct procedure is to grab 8 to 10 jalapenos with a gloved hand and place them on the crown. The grill team does not need to remove gloves after each grab of the jalapenos, there will be a minimal amount of transfer which in test markets was fine.
Restaurant Roof Maintenance
It’s getting hot out but that doesn’t mean it should be hot in the restaurant. We must keep the HVAC units clean and the filters changed. Our equipment can not do its job without you looking after it. Please take the time now to go assess your restaurant.
Glass Coffee Pots
Glass coffee pots are not allowed in the restaurant. We should all be using thermal or bulk coffee at this point. If you need more please make sure to work with your leadership on ordering.
