4 ways to test a café or restaurant setup before a busy service

Run a counter order, a menu change and a table booking as your staff would on a busy shift.

  1. Take the order your team takes most often

    Ring up a coffee and a food item on the intended tablet. Check what happens when the customer changes part of the order, then compare the receipt and stock with the final sale.

  2. Change a menu item at the counter

    Prepare a breakfast slide and a replacement for when one item sells out. Ask a staff member to find the right playlist and check the update from where a customer would stand.

  3. Rehearse a table booking with a special request

    Try a sample table booking with a dietary note and a late arrival. Check the space allocation and what the person leading service sees on the run sheet.

  4. Film the one special you can serve this week

    Use a preparation photo, the finished dish and a shot of it being served. Add the day it is available and how to visit or book so the video has a useful ending.
