Chapter 4

Can a recipe card replace me at the bar?

Thẻ công thức có pha thay được tôi ở quầy?

The chapter's question

How do I make the cup a new hire pours on the evening shift match the one I pour in the morning?

Big idea

A recipe is only right when every shift makes it the same way. Recipe cards, shift schedules and how newcomers are coached are how cost and speed hold when you are not at the counter.
