By planning thawing requirements in advance, your kitchen can maintain proper stock levels while preventing costly waste.

📊 The Proven Inventory – PAR – DO Formula

The Restaurant Pull Thaw Sheet uses a simple but highly effective formula used by successful restaurant operators.

📋 Inventory

Count all thawed products currently available in the walk-in cooler.

This provides an accurate picture of what is already available before additional products are pulled from the freezer.

🎯 PAR Level

Determine the desired amount of product needed to support projected sales.

PAR levels should be based on:

📈 Historical sales trends
📅 Day of the week
🎉 Special events
🌦 Seasonal demand changes

Accurate PAR levels help maintain consistency and prevent shortages during busy periods.

🧊 DO (Daily Order)

Determine what needs to be thawed using the formula:

PAR – Inventory = Amount to Pull

This simple calculation helps managers avoid overstocking while ensuring sufficient product is available for upcoming shifts.
