Hooks that make people curious about the work they never see: sourcing, prep, the middle of service, the team, and the tools. Tie each behind-the-scenes piece to something useful for the guest, not a show of how hard everyone works.

Sourcing and receiving

10 hooks
  1. When the produce supplier arrives, the first thing we check isn't the invoice. It's the bottom of the crate.
  2. When meat arrives, the thermometer goes in. Anything above 4°C goes back.
  3. We've bought our cheese from the same dairy for {YEARS} years. Today we saw it in person for the first time.
