Today we'll talk about our pipelines and ingredients you can use during your cooking endeavors and why sometimes your food might turn out a bit... interesting!
Let's jump into it!
What is a dish pipeline - you might ask. And it's a great question, the most important question!
Pipeline is the way you design how work happens within your food truck. It's the cool and fun lines you might have seen within the food truck on our streams or on screenshots; lines that start at the basic ingredients and slowly go through many different phases and inventory pieces. Those lines symbolize the road that your food takes before it's fully processed and ready to be ingested.
Now - depending on those lines several things will happen but there are two that we want to highlight here:
- Your food will receive the flavor score - a numerical value that signifies how tasty your dish turns out to be.
- The overall speed of production will be calculated - generally the quicker you are with your dishes the better.
You have limited space in your food truck and you need to organize it properly. You can drop and move the elements of your inventory wherever you want in the food truck (but the serving counter needs to be by the serving window!) to organize your pipeline however you see fit. Sometimes you will have to sacrifice some speed to make sure you have more flavor. Sometimes you will do the exact opposite to appease the customers with a short fuse. It's up to you to find the best possible connections!
There's a lot of ingredients at your disposal too. And you will quickly notice that a certain choice will always be yours to make - do you want to make your dish from scratch or will you rely on pre-prepared variants of the components of your dish?
Wanting to create the dish from basics generally yields more quality and flavor! However, you have to go through many more steps in order to create it and, as you've already read before, more steps equals longer pipeline, and that means that your serving speed will suffer a hit. Sometimes that won't be a problem as your customers have different patience thresholds, but it's good to remember about it.
We can't wait to see what will be your strategy - will you create an amazing dish consisting of high quality handmade ingredients, or will you cater to those who want a culinary quick fix right now?
