Coverage
Cross for the papers. The pass, when the road allows.
The practice is based at 17 Kent Street, Cross. Food and beverage demand forecasting dashboards are written there. Walkthroughs travel with the diary, not with a sales tour.
On the road from Cross
If the kitchen office is within a day's return of Cross, BS26 — Wells, Weston-super-Mare, Bristol, Bath, Taunton, and much of Somerset and North Somerset — we prefer to stand at the pass with the wall calendar in hand. Parking, service times, and the 86-book are easier to read in the room.
Further houses in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland receive the same documents. The walkthrough is then by video, with the chef holding the printed sheet. We do not skip the walkthrough because the train would be long.
What we need on site
- Forty-five minutes in the kitchen office before service, not during the Friday crush.
- The current menu, specials, and a photograph of the prep board.
- Someone who can explain voids, comps, and a coach party that looked like demand.
What coverage is not
We do not retain a van of printers or hang the calendar ourselves after midnight. Postage of the printed sheet is included for United Kingdom addresses. Laminating, if the house wants it, is theirs.
After the first briefing
Quarterly refreshes are usually remote even for South West sites, unless a menu change is large enough that the pass needs another visit. Say so when you write.
