Somehow I missed the couple paragraphs mentioning kitchen equipment, and only saw the "Why does a restaurant company like Chick-fil-A want to deploy Kubernetes at the Edge?" bits. Those don't really give me any idea of what they're doing with the servers.
Thank you for the rude comment that doesn't even answer my question, though.
They didnt really cover it in the article, maybe in the video but I didnt watch it.
I've never worked for chickfila, but I've designed a number of restaurants kitchens before.
Chickfila has a large demand for using data driven solutions. Here are some common issues restaurants face:
1. How much food needs to be ordered? Excess food ends up being tossed out, sometimes it gets lost somewhere in the back of the walkin.
2. What days will be most busy based on major events happening in the area? How is this measured? How will we inform the manager about these changes so they can have more employees during this timeframe?
3. How are we going to know which food
4. How will we know when a piece of equipment needs maintenance, or if its done at all? (Grease traps, hood filter cleaning)
5. How are we going to track the customer experience?
6. How will we prevent cross contamination during preptime using camera systems?
7. During rush hour how can we ensure fries arent going to go stale and served effectively? E.g. computer vision. Where is that data going to be stored at?
8. If a customer has had a bad food experience how are we going to track the exact problem that happened?
9. How are we going ensure data redundancy when our ISP has internet outages? Whats the backup plan.
10. How can we ensure the filets were getting from sysco or whatever vendor is the right thickness tolerance? This will affect food temperate curve graph and quality of filet
11. How can we be sure rules are being enforced during rushhour, especially with new hires?
12. How are we going to measure effectivenesd of training protocols in chickfila and get feedback from staff for improvements?
13. How are we going to keep track of all the food inventory?
14. How are we keeping track of our parts distribution for service tech (JIT equipment?)
15. How are we gojng to automate the Profit and Loss support for managers?
16. How are we going to know our vegetable supply doesnt have ecoli? What bigdata metrics are we getting from vendors for this?
17. Why are customers given X chickfila store poor reviews?
18. How will we keep track of all the information used in each store(plans, equipment, etc)
Note corporate needs to keep track of the food quality being churned out at each store. It needs to be tracked... there is alot of data. And alot of systems to house and transfer that data
