Part of the Tools and Station school. Class 6 of 6.
The capability: you know what your station can actually do in twelve minutes, and what you will drop when it cannot.
Prerequisites: the whole school, plus Modules 43, 50.
The practice
Time a real break. Count drinks, count departures from the well, and note what ran out.
Then identify your own constraint — glassware, ice, a specific build, or hands.
Then run the break again with one change and compare.
And practice the simplification: decide in advance which three builds get suspended, and say it out loud at pre-shift.
The reference
Your own break, measured, against the same break with one variable changed.
What you are building
An honest picture of the ceiling, which most bartenders do not have.
And the judgment about what to drop — because a menu cut by choice is better service than a full menu executed badly, and choosing requires having decided in advance.
Speed is not the thing being built here. The thing being built is knowing where speed stops helping, which is where Module 48's finding lands: rushing produces errors, and an error costs a remake, which is the slowest possible outcome.
Verification and boundary
The measured break, twice, with one change.
Boundary: verification and responsible-service obligations do not flex for speed, per Modules 7 and 52, and TABC is the controlling authority.
