The Arc of San Antonio’s Post

Seriously? Due to the many reactions to my recent post, today a few typical questions from an applicant who has to dispatch goods for customer orders in the bakery at night:  - How many different products do you bake a day? Over a hundred... - Do the items have barcodes for scanning? No, the goods are unpacked... - How do I differentiate between the products then? A matter of experience... - Is exactly the quantity ordered baked? We don't know.... - What happens if there is too little of a product? Then take something away from other customers and make it fit .... - Where can I see what has been picked and what is still open? We usually check this off on the delivery bill... - When does the work start? Midnight.... - When do we have to be ready? When the drivers arrive, otherwise they'll take what they need themselves.... Extremely? Yes. Unusual? No. Seriously! Distrib, the world's leading paperless picking system for bakeries, creates more attractive working conditions.  #bakery #bäckerei #distrib #pcdata #labour #labor #savings #work

🥗 Why My Deli Drawer Is Actually a Masterclass in Business Operations A couple of weeks ago I transformed my refrigerator's deli drawer into a grab-and-go salad station, and it hit me – I was using the same principles that scale successful businesses. Here's the breakdown: 1. Mise en Place = Process Optimization - Pre-chopped vegetables in clear containers - Proteins portioned and ready - Everything labeled and dated → Just like standardizing your business operations for consistent output 2. First In, First Out (FIFO) - Oldest ingredients up front - New items cycled to the back → The same inventory management principle that keeps businesses efficient 3. Visual Management Systems - Clear containers show stock levels → Like a business dashboard, but for lunch 4. Batch Processing - Sunday prep for the week ahead - Multiple meals from one prep session → Scale through systematic preparation, just like in business 5. Quality Control - Regular freshness checks - Immediate removal of expired items → Maintaining standards is crucial in both salads and services The ROI?  - 15 minutes saved per meal - Zero waste from forgotten produce - Healthier choices made easy - Consistent quality every time Sometimes the best business lessons come from the most unexpected places – even your refrigerator.

(#crossselling) or "would you like to go Large?" (#upselling). These two simple questions have resulted in millions of dollars additional revenue for the fast-food chain down the years.
