This morning started with a unique blend of technology and culinary delight at one of Idaho's finest dining establishments, 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝟮𝟵. Known for its exquisite menu and warm ambiance, Brick 29 needed a little help resolving a network issue that threatened to disrupt their operations. Upon arrival, we conducted a short diagnostic and quickly identified the problem: an overheating access point (AP). Instead of opting for the usual solution of swapping out the AP, which would have caused potential downtime for their payment system, we decided to innovate. We opened up the AP and allowed it to run while cooling it down with superior airflow (maybe we will install some thermal pads next time 😄). As we worked, I could recall being here as a young adult, enjoying the sizzling bacon, making it a wonderful full-circle experience. For all the 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 out there, if you ever find yourself in Idaho, Brick 29 is, in my opinion, THE place for a fancy meal accompanied by some amazing bacon. The combination of technical troubleshooting and the restaurant's culinary expertise made for a memorable morning. Not only did we ensure the network stayed up and running, but we also got to enjoy meeting some passionate individuals. This experience was a perfect reminder that innovation can come in many forms, sometimes even over a plate of the best bacon around. #Innovation #TechSupport #NetworkingSolutions #CustomerExperience #CulinaryDelight #IdahoEats #Brick29 #FAANG #TechAndFood #FullCircleMoment #BaconLovers #MemorableMorning #ProblemSolving #PassionatePeople #TechCommunity

❔ Which of these holidays has the biggest impact on Foodservice traffic, Easter or Valentine’s? 🐣 💘 📊 According to Meaningful Vision Ltd’s data, #ValentinesDay saw 🍽 restaurants attracting 45% more customers than would be expected on an average weekday. 🍕 🚚 Pizza delivery sales also increased 📈 by 15% on Valentine’s Day, driven by consumers who prefer to celebrate at home or those on a more modest budget. 'Valentine's Day is traditionally an important day for restaurants specializing in fine dining or offering a more upscale, intimate dining experience. Couples are often willing to spend more for a special night out, and as a result, the impact of Valentine's Day is primarily concentrated on dinner service. While the economic benefits it can bestow are significant, they are confined to one specific part of the day,' comments Maria Vanifatova, CEO of Meaningful Vision. 🐣 🐇 🐔 Easter usually appeals to a wider demographic, including families, large groups, and individuals of various ages, with traffic growth focused on brunch and lunch services. By daily measure, Easter’s growth appears to be half that of Valentine's Day at +15%, but since Easter lasts for four days rather than only one, the period should, in fact, bring more additional traffic to casual dining. The same cannot be said for fast food, as during the Easter holiday, people generally favour dining at home over the fast-food option. ✔ #DataAnalytics #MarketAnalysis #RestaurantIndustry #FastFoodTrends #MeaningfulVision

Another restaurant hack I shamelessly use at home: Green Tape. Labeling and dating are critical tasks in any commerical kitchen, not just for health and safety but also speed, efficiency, and reduced waste. Yes, this is me, no surprise, I love to label everything. We adopted this method at home years ago to great success. It doesn’t just tell us what it is and when we made it, but it also allows us to more efficiently utilize our backstock of frozen meals and leftovers. With everything dated, we also adopted a first in, first out rule (FIFO) for our fridge and freezer too. (Snuck in a second restaurant hack here for you!) Now we’re more inclined to cook more on weekends and space out our leftovers. I’m getting better at meal storage and freezing (more on that later!) This restaurant work hack goes down as one my favorite working parent hacks. What’s yours? #restaurants #restaurantmanagement #timemanagement #food #workingmom #workingparents #gettingthingsdone
