Redesign the last step, not the whole kitchen.
In food service, what the guest experiences is decided in the last steps: regeneration, finishing and service. Cucina Efficace redesigns those steps, so that an operator can serve consistent, high-quality dishes without a full production kitchen and without a chef on every shift.
What an operator receives
- Manuals and procedures for back-office regeneration and front-of-house finishing.
- High-quality semi-finished products and ingredients.
- Equipment, machines and technology.
- Choreographed menus that cut across product areas.
Cucina Efficace is one of the food systems licensed by Food Lifestyle Srl (Milan, since 2017), alongside Coolella, the Coffee Design Kit and Restaurant 4.0. The method is also the subject of Paolo Barichella's book La Cucina Efficace (Trenta Editore).
