Believe it or not, yes! Chick-fil-a and other trailblazers in the restaurant industry are realizing the cost-saving and profit-increasing capabilities of contracting professional organizing services in their back of house and beyond.
What many restaurants are realizing is the impact that utilizing their space well has on their employee's ability to to complete tasks related to customer service, and stay focused on the job at hand.
Yes. It's not only utilizing the space well, but also, having items intentionally placed in ways that make sense based on when and where employees need to use them.
We are! Back of house organization can make or break the ease of workflow, the ability to grow your business and keep high employee morale. Chick-fil-a did research into this in 2024 as a part of their LEAN strategy efforts, and the data they've collected has borne out the evidence that a well-utilized space can add to your bottom line.
Wild, huh? And - the high volume of daily customers at certain restuarants can result in the need to have an immense amount of backstock of food products. Not to mention the movement of that backstock (sauces, salt and pepper packets, condiments, napkins, straws, spoons & forks, etc.) from the back of house to the front of house when needed. Where do the employees put all these boxes with such limited space in the restaurant? What is the employee who is moving backstock from back of house to front of house missing doing from their normal role? Restaurants with an high volume of food product and high demand for service are likely to see the most impact on their bottom line the quickest, as a result of our work together.
We know, we know! Thats why we're here. Without thoughtful planning, boxes can be left in inconvenient, irrational or dangerous places. All this slows down the process of getting food from kitchen to customer, decrasing your profits and causing frustration for your employees.
Yep - Catering! Why? Because of the limits of the footprint of certain restaurants, these backstock challenges take away space that could be used for catering - a way to make even more money as a restaurant.
We start with a free initial phone call and then plan an on-site assessment. The on-site assessment takes anywhere from 4-8 hours. It includes observation of the space, workflows, as well as conversations with the owner, managers and employees about anything and everything - workflows, backstock, storage and the space. Afterward, we present a plan to you for changes to the space. We agree on what to implement, and then, we implement it!
It is! After we do the work of reorganizing, we plan to visit you atleast once per month to maintain what has been implemented. We can come on site for other sessions to train employees, adjust systems as necessary based on new products and workflows, and more.
