Running a bustling spot means balancing flavor, timing, and safety with calm focus under pressure. We plan shifts, prep queues, and oven cycles like a tight playbook. The core angle here is risk control when tickets stack, and it shapes choices from ordering ingredients to boxing. Guests crave steady results, so we build systems that stay steady even when the door never stops opening. If you want hot boxes without trade-offs, dial in prep lists, proofing schedules, and line roles early. In our house, dough moves on rails, sauces stay labeled, and slicers stay sharp
