BOH

Back of House

All areas of a restaurant where food preparation and supporting operations occur, primarily the kitchen and storage areas. BOH technology systems focus on food preparation, timing, and coordination between cooking stations. These systems typically include kitchen displays or printers that show incoming orders, preparation instructions, and timing information. BOH staff includes chefs, line cooks, dishwashers, and kitchen managers who rely on these systems to maintain efficient food preparation and delivery. The area where staff interacts with the customer is the FOH.
