Individual Jam Portions for Cafés, Hotels & Catering
Compare strawberry, apricot and marmalade portions, choose between 50 and 300-piece formats, and organise a practical breakfast or catering service.
Individual jam portions offer cafés, hotels, caterers and event operators a straightforward way to serve familiar spreads without placing a shared jar at every table or service station.
The live Fast Direct Packaging catalogue includes Zoosh strawberry, apricot and marmalade varieties, with selected products available in 50-portion and 300-portion formats. This guide explains the listed options and how hospitality businesses can choose a practical range for breakfast, high-tea and catering service.
Why use individual jam portions?
Individual portions give each guest a separate serving that can be placed beside toast, scones, pastries or a breakfast plate. The Zoosh range is presented for foodservice environments including cafés, hotels, buffets and catering operations.
Service reminder: Keep the original product packaging available so staff and customers can consult its current dietary, allergen and storage information.
Compare the available jam flavours
A small selection of recognisable flavours can provide useful customer choice without making the service station unnecessarily complicated.
Strawberry
The 300-piece listing contains individual 14g portions. The product description states a minimum of 40% strawberry fruit, no purées, Australian made and gluten-free.
View Strawberry 300’s →Apricot
The 300-piece listing contains individual 13.6g sachets. It states at least 40% real apricots, no purées, Australian made and gluten-free.
View Apricot 300’s →Marmalade
The 300-piece marmalade listing describes Zoosh jam as using a selection of quality fruits with no purées, with consistent flavour, texture and appearance.
View Marmalade 300’s →Choosing between 50 and 300 portions
The suitable format depends on ordinary usage, the number of flavours being offered and how frequently the serving station needs replenishing.
Smaller tray
Consider a 50-portion tray when testing a flavour, preparing a smaller event or offering several flavours with modest demand. The current range includes 50-piece strawberry, apricot and marmalade listings.
Foodservice format
A 300-portion format may suit venues using the same flavour regularly across breakfast, buffet or catering service. Check the live product page before ordering.
Plan an organised jam station
A clear layout helps guests recognise the available flavours and gives staff a repeatable replenishment process.
Group the flavours
Separate strawberry, apricot and marmalade portions into clearly labelled sections. Display the written flavour name instead of relying only on colour.
Set the starting quantity
Begin with a measured number of portions. Replenish them according to the venue’s normal service routine rather than placing the full supply on the counter.
Record normal usage
Note the starting quantity, extra portions supplied and unused portions. This gives the venue practical information for future ordering.
Using jam portions for catering
For prepared catering orders, portions can be arranged beside scones, bread, pastries or other suitable menu items. Plan quantities from the confirmed order rather than adding portions without a count.
If several flavours are included, decide whether every guest receives the same selection or whether a mixed choice will be available. Keep the product faces visible and avoid covering the original labels.

Build a focused foodservice range
A venue does not necessarily need every flavour and pack format immediately. One practical approach is to begin with strawberry as a familiar core option, then introduce apricot or marmalade according to customer demand and menu style.
Smaller trays can support initial testing, while 300-portion formats can be considered once ordinary usage is understood. Always review the individual product page before ordering because catalogue details can change.
