They will not let us get everything we need because they are trying to cut the budget. This morning, we were supposed to put ham in the Western Omelet according to the recipe and we were not even able to put ham in it, because we did not have any ham, so the residents did not get any meat. At lunch today, we have to substitute sweet potato for baked potato because we do not have any regular potatoes. We are constantly having to re-do the menu because we do not always have what we need to make the food that is supposed to me made. The Residents complain a lot, but there is nothing we can do, and this has been going on for quite a long time. It is very frustrating.

The kitchen staff do not know how to portion out all the ingredients when they are preparing meals, so a lot of times they run out of product that they need. We could not get bagged lettuce for like 4 weeks, because there were issues with our supplier and if we ordered single heads of lettuce, they would generally just get stuck in the back of the refrigerator and go bad, because no one would cut them up.
