Once you've completed the trailer set up👇🏻. It's time to get ready to serve some food!

This post covers how to get the ready to serve up some banging taquitos, tacos and bowls. There will be another post that will deal with setting up the tent and taco cart set up. This post is strictly for the trailer! There's no food or customer set up involved either. That will be covered in another SOP.

👟Step by Step

if you want a breakdown of all the grill dude duties check out this.

🚨Priorities

DO NOT leave a lighter or anything else flammable laying underneath the griddle, it will catch on fire and/or blow up.
NEVER light the steam table before filling with water!
Put the menu out
Connect phone to the POS

🙈Common Problems

Problem:

Fridge not getting down to temperature.

Solution:

There are lights on the screen for the fan and compressor. If they are blinking that means they are about to come on (this signifies time delay before they do).
If these lights are solid, that means they are on. Check that the temperature setting is appropriate.
If the lights are solid but temperature is not coming down, check the power source (make sure there is no intermittence), check that fridge is completely closed, turn off and on.
If none of this works move everything into a cooler.

Problem:

Dropped a utensil

Solution:

There are extra utensils in the dish bin below the griddle

Problem:

Generator not starting

Solution:

Check that there is gas in it.
Check that the red vent on top is set to "on", sometimes it's good to switch it back and forth from on to off and back to clear out whatever could be stuck in there.
The one generator is a bit difficult with the dial on goes from the choke setting to the gas setting.
When turning from choke to gas you need to keep it pressed in, go past the gas setting and slowly come back to the gas setting while still holding the dial in.
If it still will not stay started, the generator could need oil. Take off the plate and add 0W-20 engine oil.
If you try to start the generator 5-6 times unsuccessfully, the engine could be flooded with gas. Wait 10-15 minutes before trying to start it again.

Problem:

POS reader not connecting

Solution:

Exit the app and try again via bluetooth.
If it still doesn't work, forget the device and then pair it by holding in the button on the POS.
No connection can also be due to poor internet connection, still need a good solution for when this is the issue (some sort of hotspot or purchase a terminal that can accept offline transactions). Accept only venmo or cash for now.
