Challenge
A neighborhood bistro needed to refine a short tasting menu while reducing prep time and controlling food cost, without losing character.
Approach
We audited supply chains, introduced a three-day prep cadence and redesigned two signature dishes to share components across the menu. Staff workshops focused on plating rhythm and timing.
Result
Service became steadier, average ticket time tightened by 12 minutes and plate consistency rose — guests reported clearer flavors and staff confidence improved.
