21 Years of Restaurant Kitchen Efficiency Advice in 12 Minutes

I’m Mike Bausch. I own 12 restaurants, and after 21 years, I’ve realized that poor restaurant kitchen efficiency is the #1 killer of restaurant profitability. In this video, I’m giving you two decades of kitchen tips, kitchen hacks, and restaurant owner advice to help you minimize waste and eliminate bottlenecks in your BOH. From kitchen layout ideas that reduce "dead motion" to using restaurant automation tools like kitchen display systems, we are covering the mechanics of restaurant business growth. If you don't understand kitchen flow optimization, you are essentially paying your staff to go on a 5-mile hike every day. It’s time to move from "chaos" to food service efficiency.
