Where can you find a tray jack?

• A. In the freezer.
• B. In the pantry.
• C. Next to the expo line in the kitchen.
• D. On the prep table.

Answer: (C)

Efficient service relies on keeping the right tools where they’re used. A tray jack is a tool for lifting and moving trays quickly during plating and service, so it belongs where the action happens—near the expo (service) line. That proximity lets you grab or deliver trays without extra steps or delays, keeping the flow smooth and safe.

Storing it in the freezer or pantry wastes time and blocks those areas, while placing it on the prep table puts it far from the service area and can clutter prep space. Keeping it beside the expo line ensures quick, practical access during busy service.
