Room details and site checks
- Layout
- Separate outgoing plates from incoming returns and connect the pass directly to the main server aisle.
- Detail
- Use heat-tolerant worktops, clear ticket visibility, and task light that reveals plate detail.
- Trade-off
- A wider pass eases handoff but can take space from preparation.
- Run a mock service handoff
- Check hot and dirty items never cross paths
