What is a common reason for food errors in an order?

Miscommunication with the kitchen or neglecting to double-check the order is a prevalent cause of food errors in an order. When the front-of-house staff relays orders to the kitchen, it’s crucial that the message is clear and accurate. Any miscommunication can lead to incorrect items being prepared or specific requests not being fulfilled, such as dietary restrictions or modifications.

Additionally, if servers or staff do not take the time to double-check the order before sending it to the kitchen, it increases the possibility of inaccuracies. Ensuring that all details are correctly communicated and verified helps mitigate errors, ultimately improving customer satisfaction and service quality.
