A Recipe for Success
For his analysis, Tom takes a wholistic approach to a food operation. All elements of the process should align with the core principles of quality food preparation. Starting with the ingredients, how you treat them, and how you present them, the food preparation process, proper cooking techniques, plating and cleanup. A misstep in any of these areas can hurt quality.
Elements of how the kitchen process aligns with the dining room service is equally important in creating the desired customer experience. Establishing a mission, setting roles and guidelines that support that mission, while considering the capabilities of your servers and support personnel can make all the difference.
