Create Back-of-House Efficiency

We understand the back-of-house can be chaotic –– cooking, cleaning, prepping, ordering and organizing, so taking every opportunity to help control the chaos is crucial. By streamlining the necessary ingredients featured across your menu and across dayparts, you can not only ensure that chaos is controlled but that each dish is delivered with optimal consistency. 

Standardized procedures for kitchen operations contribute to a smoother, more efficient restaurant operation. Ensuring staff are confident in their roles and how each ingredient is prepared leads to better teamwork and predictability, which is crucial for planning and scaling your menu and business.¹ This means that the more consistency there is in ingredients across your menu, the smoother your entire restaurant will operate.

Unlock Menu Creativity & Consistency

Utilizing the same ingredients across your menu also allows for more consistency and improved quality. This encompasses everything from the freshness of ingredients to the presentation of dishes. Consistent quality control ensures that every plate served meets your operation’s standards and customer expectations, reducing the likelihood of complaints and negative reviews.¹ 

Reviewing your menu for trends in item popularity is also a great way to find inspiration for new menu items or LTOs. Is guacamole your top-selling appetizer? Try adding guac to your next burger special for a Tex-Mex spin. Or if your customers always seem to be craving your breakfast tacos, try using the same salsa for something like shakshuka. The truth is, even just one ingredient can be stretched across the entire menu and the whole day.
