What I love about this is that while this restaurant is a well oiled machine with many cogs, they all have an understanding and passion for both the bigger picture they’re a part of and the part they play in it. Often times in jobs in the service industry it’s easy to feel dehumanised but all these people have a sense of pride and purpose and I hope they’re paid well to boot!

Great insight that shows all the different roles and skillsets that are required to keep a kitchen running smoothly. One thing I would suggest is it would have been clearer to show an animation for incrementing the number whenever the staff count showed up. It was not clear what team each person belonged to as the numbers changed over time.

As someone who is a part owner of a restaurant the most important thing that was said was the owner admitting it’s too many people. In this day and age it ends up being unsustainable. A lot of redundancy here, doesn’t matter how much a fine dining establishment it is.
