For cheese and cured meats, for example, what if you prepared your own ready-serve versions for each product you have? Get a slicer and hire a responsible younger person who will work for a reasonable wage and have that person come in for 4 hours each day early and do nothing but slice up each product and put paper between slices, and then vacuum pack away in pouches and leave in the freezer. Then your order flow would go like this:
1) Customer orders, you check case to see if there are pre-sliced portions. Oh and sell only standard increments, like 2 ounces. so each slice is 2 ounces, or whatever other measure. So if a customer wants "about yay much" you're not slicing custom cuts each time but selling standard ones.
2) If there are no pre-sliced cuts, look to the storage fridge, get the vacuum packed bag, bring it out, and start taking from it and packing away the paper-separated slices into one larger bag or wrap to give to the customer. Customer wants more? No problem, just get more. Customer wants another option? No problem, grab and assemble.
3) This way you eliminate the 3-4 steps in your sales cycle and likely cut the time from engagement to time to cash in hand by half.
In this model, it's important to slice daily or every other day and keep everything at 34F so it is as fresh as possible. But some ideal like that or a variation would work so that you segregate roles and have the front person only do sales and other people do prep, pre-packaged combo assembly, etc.
