What should one do with the contents of the low or empty ice cream bucket?

The best course of action when dealing with the contents of a low or empty ice cream bucket is to scrape those contents into another bucket and smooth it down. This approach ensures that no ice cream goes to waste and allows for the remaining product to be consolidated into one bucket, maintaining its quality and presentation. By smoothing it down, you also create a neater appearance, making it easier for future servings and reducing the likelihood of contamination from leftover remnants.

This method is particularly effective in the context of managing inventory effectively and minimizing waste, which is essential in a food service environment like Graeter's. Ensuring that all available ice cream can be served enhances customer satisfaction and maintains operational efficiency.
