How long are you willing to wait for a to-go order? How about 30 minutes, 40, 50? Maybe two hours? That’s what was happening a lot at Moose’s Tooth. “We got to a point where we couldn’t keep up on to-go’s,” Dan Fiacco the GM at Moose’s Tooth said, “and in-house it was up to 40, 45 minutes, it wasn’t acceptable.”
So this October the restaurant started building a second kitchen, just for to-go orders.
It’s 3,000 square feet, with six ovens, double the freezer space and eight to 10 additional employees.
Fiacco says the first Friday night the second kitchen was being used they sold 1,678 pizzas.
“It’s a major improvement, so far so good,” Fiacco said.
Fiacco says about 30-40% of the business is from to-go orders. But, he says, people weren’t willing to wait for more than an hour.
He says the goal now is for to-go orders to be about 30 minutes, and in-house orders closer to 25 minutes.
The new kitchen will be fully running May1st.
