The business

Cedar & Salt Kitchen is a farm-to-table seafood restaurant with a prep commissary. Toast runs the front of house; the kitchen needs more than a POS: perishable stock across several cold locations, lot records that satisfy FDA FSMA 204 and SFCR Canada, and a fast way to act when a supplier lot is recalled.

What the video walks through

  • Perishables picked first-expired, first-out (FEFO), with catch weight for Atlantic salmon.
  • One-up / one-back tracing that documents every lot, such as romaine or maple syrup, for regulators.
  • A recall case (RCL-CS-ROMAINE-001) that blocks shipping of the lot and lists the affected customers.
  • Toast sales mix imported by CSV to deplete ingredient stock, without an API subscription.
  • Transfers between the Main Kitchen, the Seafood Cold Room and the Prep Commissary.
  • Traceability plans and Preventive Control Plans (PCP) kept in the system.

What this shows

Food-safety records come out of the kitchen's normal receiving, transfers and sales instead of a separate logbook, and a recall starts from the lot rather than from a spreadsheet search.
