Also called BOH
Back of house is the kitchen and everything supporting it — prep areas, stores, wash-up, and the chefs, cooks and porters who work there. It covers everyone the guest does not normally see.
Back of house is where most of the cost of goods and a large share of labour sits, which is why prime cost is largely a back-of-house number.
The handover between front and back of house is the KOT, and it is the most common point at which orders go wrong.
