Seriously. It's a fucking burger. You can NOT make that taste anything special by itself on a plate like that. There is no magic there.

You don't find people eating it that way for a reason. You would rather just opt out of beef and eat something else at that point.

This guy knows what's going on. You clearly define your product so that there is consistency. When I worked fast food they had this manual that described in great detail how every sandwich should be made and how it should taste, down to the level of how far apart the pickles should be. The way he's describing making the burger here is pretty close to how that manual sounded when you read it. Employees won't necessarily listen, but if you define those standards and push for that consistency you'll at least move in that direction.

[@mtnbound2764]

good point.

[@EOTA564]

Someone gets it. I worked in a Subway franchise as a student and they were rigorous in making sure sandwiches were being made to their standard method right down to the sequence of actions. One day we had an assessment and the manager (who hated me) asked her favourite employee, who was a nice lady and a very good and diligent worker to be fair, to make the sandwiches for the assessor and she completely fucked up the formula and we failed even though most customers would have been perfectly happy with the sandwich she made. The manager was crestfallen for a week. It was glorious.

[@magetaaaaaa]

@@EOTA564 You actually see the consequences of NOT doing this with these virtual chains like Beast Burger or whatever it's called. You look at the reviews and a lot of the complaints boil down to a lack of consistency. It's one way and then it's another way next time. No one is following the standards and the customer notices it and the word is out.

[@JohannGambolputty22]

Yeah everyone in the comments is giving him crap and the comments are truly hilarious, but in all honesty it’s strict adherence to consistency that earns repeat business to any restaurant so I can respect his presentation.
