🍽️ What’s Cooking?
Bali stops all new hotels & restaurants on agricultural land after floods
After deadly flash floods hit Bali on September 10—the worst in over a decade—the government declared a state of emergency and moved quickly. The governor has ordered that no new permits be issued for hotels or restaurants built on productive land (especially rice fields). The decision is part of a larger 100-year sustainability plan. Environmental groups say overdevelopment and land conversion have worsened flood damage. Read more.
🃏 Running a Smoother Kitchen
“Micro Feedback Loop” for daily cooking precision
Every evening, have each station (grill, fry, prep, service) note one thing that worked well and one thing that needs improvement—using sticky notes or a shared digital form. At shift-change, a designated team member collects the notes and posts the top issues (common across stations) for the next morning. It creates small continuous improvements, helps catch recurring delays or quality dips, and keeps everyone aligned without formal meetings.
