In this episode of the podcast Your Life and Restaurant, I talk about one of the most overlooked bottlenecks in restaurant operations: the window.

Most owners think their problem is the kitchen or the servers, but often the real issue is what happens in between.

When food sits in the window, service slows down, quality drops, and the entire system gets backed up.

In this episode I break down:

  • Why food dying in the window hurts both speed and guest experience
  • Why having an expo during peak times can completely change service
  • Signs your kitchen is outpacing your front of house

If your restaurant feels chaotic during rush, this episode will help you identify where the real bottleneck is and how to fix it. Listen now.
