God people may need to peel a potato

- esperent 3y agoOk, I'll explain. It's not about people at home having to peel potatoes. Imagine you run a diner. You have low profit margins and you use frozen chips. It's a high volume item. Most customers order chips. A 25kg bag of potatoes is about 30 portions. You might use 100kg of raw potatoes in a day. Have you ever peeled, chipped, parboiled, and possibly pre-fried 100kg of potatoes? I certainly haven't but I imagine it's at least a shift of work for a member of staff. Which means you need to hire someone. You might also need to buy a commercial potato peeler which cost $1000-$3000 US. Then a month or two later the shortage is over, you go back to frozen. Do you fire the new staff? Sell the machine?
