Part of the Honky-Tonk Service Operations track. Lesson 1 of 10.
The sequence
Walk the room during a set.
Learn the routes.
Find where plates go cold.
And know what is visible from where.
The decisions
Which route to take. A ninety-second carry through a crowd is a real cost and it is where plate temperature goes.
And where to stand. What the floor can see that the bar and the kitchen cannot — which is the basis for the observation assignment, per the bar's Module 7.
What you are reading
Distance and time from pass to table.
And sightlines.
What goes wrong here
Routes not planned.
And the floor's observation position never used.
Verification
Time a plate from pass to table during a set.
The boundary
Occupancy and egress are governed by fire and building authorities.
