I likedthe idea that the person who cooks my food, will also bring it to me, to add a personal touch.
A few wait staff to take the orders, bring the drinks, turn the tables, etc etc.
And then practicality sets in. I imagine a large kitchen is going to be needed, for the cooks doubling up as runners.
Or, tables placed around the open kitchen, where people can watch their food being cooked, and more tables around the restaurant for those who don't. That way, cooks can put the dish right infront of them, taking away the need to leave their stations. |
i always thought that this would be a great idea for a restaurant!!
it is amazing how the waitstaff often has NO idea what it takes to
cook something or what goes into a dish. when i ask how an item
on the menu was prepared, i usually get a puzzled look. i would have the
chefs as cooks and runners, maybe on the same night, maybe on alternating
nights. either way, a more personal and knowledgeable staff!!
OH!! and just a thot .... at least half my staff would be culinary school
grads, their first job after graduation, just to give them a taste for
all aspects of the restaurant game.
