Analysis of the causes that make delay in cooking and serving the food.
Waiting for food at a restaurant or any food parlor is the best way to test your patience when you feel hungry. People get impatient and unreasonable while waiting for the food at the restaurant. We fail to understand that good food needs time to cook the ingredients ( vegetables, spices, sauce, fish, meat, etc.), and garnishing. Delayed serving happens due to many reasons. There could be a rush in the food outlet or busy handling the orders. It is also possible that the restaurant may not have enough staff. There are other reasons too. Servers might not have taken the food on time, lengthy food packaging process, the chef fails to handle the volume, shortage of staff in the kitchen, demanding customers or the food preparation time is lengthy. The following fishbone contains the causes and their child causes that I have chalked out in my root cause analysis.
