During what time can prep activities be performed?

Prep activities are best performed during non-peak hours for several reasons. During these times, the restaurant experiences lower customer volume, allowing staff to focus on food preparation without the pressure of fulfilling immediate orders. This helps ensure that ingredients are fresh and ready for service, which contributes to overall efficiency and quality of the food being served.

When prep work is done during non-peak hours, it minimizes the risk of disruption to service and enhances productivity, allowing team members to dedicate time to both quality preparation and customer service when business is at its busiest. This strategic timing helps maintain the flow of operations and ensures that when customers do arrive, the kitchen is well-prepared to meet their demands.
