Food and beverage
The kitchen, forewarned.
Rain on a Saturday means thirty percent fewer walk-ins, and the ordering should know before you do. This design runs the counter's arithmetic continuously, and answers to the owner.
The problem
Where the margin goes.
Ordering runs on gut feel
The order goes in days ahead on last week's memory, so a wet Tuesday leaves the chiller full and a holiday empties it by noon.
The bin keeps no ledger
What went into it this week had a price, but nothing was named or weighed on the way, so the loss vanishes into the food cost line.
Margins age between stocktakes
Ingredient prices move under the menu weekly, and which dishes still earn their place is discovered a month later, at the stocktake.
Reviews wait for a quiet hour
They arrive in three languages while service is at full stretch, the quiet hour never comes, and the silence is what the next diner reads.
The design
Count, forecast, plan.
The cold rooms and the HACCP records ride the same architecture as the plant and records systems.
Next step
Bring us the kitchen.
Cafe, chain or central kitchen: if the bin and the sellout both cost you money, this design was drawn for your counter.
