| You are in charge of the kitchen at a restaurant. | |||
| The restaurant only offers 5 items on the menu and the strategy is to serve extremely high quality food. | |||
| To make quality food you have decided to buy quality ingredients and to serve only the freshest ingredients | |||
| Everything is made fresh that day, with the exception of pizza crusts, fresh spaghetti and linguini which you buy from a local bakery on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. | |||
| Orders are placed the night before and arrive the next morning before the restaurant opens. | |||
| Each morning you throw away any leftover sauces, and ingredients except for pizza crusts which you keep for up to three days. Leftover wine is not thrown away either | |||
| You have six kitchen staff | |||
| 1 pizza chef | cooks pizzas, responsible for preparing pizza for serving | ||
| 1 pasta chef | cooks pasta and sauces, responsible for plating food | ||
| 1 pizza prep | Chops, cuts, and gets all ingredients ready for the pizza chef, helps prepare pizza for serving after they are cooked | ||
| 1 pasta prep | Chops, cuts, and gets all ingredients ready for the pasta chef, helps prepare plates of food for serving | ||
| 1 pass chef | responsible for handling incoming customer orders and assigning the cooking team, also manages the outgoing orders | ||
| 1 head chef | responsible for ensuring all employees are doing their jobs | ||
| Your goal is to have the food reach the customer within 20 minutes of the order being taken | |||
| The oven can not be opened for 5 minutes after placing a pizza in it or the other pizza will not cook correctly | |||
| Red sauce can be kept for 2 hours after being prepared and then it must be discarded | |||
| Clam sauce can be kept 30 minutes after being prepared and then it must be discarded | |||
| Vegetables can be prepped and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours | |||
| You are only open for dinner and you serve from 5 pm until 11 pm each night | |||
