The table that has lunch with a watch in hand
Pillar: Speed without rushing•Time: 8 minutes
FOR-SAL-09 · v2.0
01The Boost — 90 seconds
«You don't serve the guest on the clock faster: you serve them before they have to ask.»
Between 12:30 and 1:30 half of lunch walks in, and a good share comes from an office with 45 minutes to spare. That table does not judge the soup: it counts how many times it had to raise a hand. Yesterday three tables asked for the bill twice. Today the bill goes out with the coffee, before anyone asks.
02The operations — 3 minutes
| The number | Yesterday: 4,180,000 COP, 96 covers, 4 % below last Tuesday. Today's target: 104 covers, 58 of them between 12:30 and 1:30. |
|---|---|
| What is 86'd | No chicharrón for the house platter until tomorrow. Authorised substitute: roast pork, no change in allergens (confirmed at the pass at 11:17). Eight trout portions left. |
| The push | Deck card 3 · Garlic trout, 46,000 COP · «Garlic trout? We sear it in the pan the moment you order.»Why: it leaves 29,900 COP per plate, 6,140 more than a sancocho, and it is out in 12 minutes. |
| The split | The second-station server is off: the cashier covers the door from 12:30 to 1:30. First station, tables 1 to 6; floor manager, 7 to 13. Table of 8 with a birthday at 1:00; egg allergy on the 12:30 booking, seat 3. |
03The drill — The table 7 stopwatch · 3 minutes
| The challenge | Whoever runs the meeting seats a couple at table 7 who say as they sit down: «we have 40 minutes». |
|---|---|
| High pressure | In 60 seconds, the first-station server says aloud the four moments when that table cannot wait —the menu, the soup, the main and the bill— and who covers each one if he is at another table. The team times it; past 60, the next person tries. |
04The daily mission — 30 seconds
Today no table has to chase the bill: it arrives with the coffee. At close, the floor manager logs on FOR-SAL-03 the tables that had to ask again; the target is zero.
The closing question: Which table today will arrive in a hurry, and who takes it?
