Restaurant kitchen and service flow review

Example result

Example for the Standard package

Process review: order-to-delivery at a custom furniture workshop

Current process map (order intake → production)

  1. Customer sends an inquiry via website form, phone or Instagram DM
  2. Owner (Dan) replies personally, often 1–3 days later
  3. Dan measures on site, sketches by hand, photographs the sketch
  4. Quote typed in a Word template, emailed as PDF
  5. Customer pays 50% deposit by bank transfer; Dan checks the bank app manually
  6. Sketch and notes handed to the shop lead on paper
  7. Shop lead orders wood by phone; adds job to the whiteboard

Bottlenecks and losses

ProblemWhereImpact
All inquiries go through one personSteps 1–2~20% of inquiries never get a reply; slow first response
Paper handoff to the shopStep 63 rework cases last quarter due to lost or misread dimensions
Deposit checked by handStep 5Jobs start late; once a job started without a deposit
Whiteboard is the only scheduleStep 7Delivery dates promised without seeing the load

Improved process

  1. All channels lead to one shared inbox; office manager replies within 4 working hours with a booking link for measurement
  2. Measurements entered into a job card (shared spreadsheet or simple CRM): dimensions, wood, finish, photos
  3. Quote generated from a price sheet with standard options; Dan approves only non-standard items
  4. Office manager confirms the deposit and marks the job card "Ready for production"
  5. Shop lead takes jobs only from the "Ready" column; materials ordered from the card
  6. Delivery date given only after the job is placed on the shared schedule

Simple metrics to track

  • First response time — target: under 4 working hours
  • Inquiry → paid deposit conversion — current estimate 25%, target 35%
  • Rework cases per month — target: 0–1
  • On-time delivery — target: 90%

Step-by-step plan

  1. Week 1: set up a shared inbox and a job card template
  2. Week 2: build a price sheet with the 12 most common options
  3. Week 3: move the whiteboard to a shared schedule; train the shop lead
  4. Week 4: review the first 10 orders against the new metrics

Client: Oak & Pine Studio, a 9-person workshop making custom tables and shelving. Processes reviewed: order intake, production scheduling, delivery and installation.

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

In a restaurant the rush shows every weak link at once: tickets reach the kitchen late, the pass is crowded, runners wait for one missing side dish and tables wait for the bill. We map how an order moves from the guest's table or a delivery app through the till, kitchen stations and pass back to the guest, plus opening, closing and prep routines. You get a smoother service flow, clear roles during the rush, a prep and closing checklist and simple numbers such as ticket times and table turns.

What is included

  • What you getA written review: the order path through hall and kitchen with roles, a table of rush-hour bottlenecks, the improved service flow, shift checklists, metrics and a change plan.
  • Table-to-kitchen pathOrder, ticket, stations, pass, runner
  • Rush-hour bottlenecksWhere tickets and plates pile up
  • Delivery ordersHow app orders fit in without blocking the hall
  • Shift routinesOpening, prep, changeover and closing checklists
  • Service metricsTicket time, table turns, remakes

What we need from you

Your type of place and number of seats, kitchen stations and staff per shift, how orders reach the kitchen (paper, POS, kitchen screen), delivery apps you use, when it gets busiest and what goes wrong then, plus photos or screenshots of your layout or tickets.

We will ask you:

  • What kind of place is it, and how many seats?
  • How does an order get to the kitchen?
  • When is the rush, and what breaks first?
  • How many staff work in the hall and kitchen per shift?

Questions and answers

Do you check food safety rules?

No. Food safety, hygiene and fire rules come from your local authority; the plan keeps your existing procedures and does not replace them.

Can you redesign our menu or recipes?

No. We may point out dishes that slow down a station, but menu and recipe changes are your chef's call.

We have two locations. Can you review both?

Yes, in Standard or Premium each location can count as a separate process.
