Part of the Honky-Tonk Service Operations track. Lesson 8 of 10.
The sequence
Know the bar's constraints.
Sequence food and drink together where it matters.
And pass observations both ways.
The decisions
Whether to fire food against a drink order. A table that has drinks and no food for twenty minutes is a different experience than one where they arrive together, and the coordination is nobody's job unless it is assigned.
And what the bar needs to know from the floor. Refusals, guests being watched, and anything the door should know — because a refusal communicated only to the other bartender leaves the door unaware, per the bar's Module 52.
What you are reading

What goes wrong here
Two departments with no channel.
Verification
Ask the bar what the floor told them tonight.
The boundary
TABC governs service decisions.
