Does Every Outlet ReallyMake the Same Pizza?
When your best dough handler goes on leave, does outlet #12 still turn out the same crust? If you hesitated, your process depends on tribal knowledge — and that works right up until it doesn't.

Machine — ovens drift, mixers wear, scales go uncalibrated.

Material — flour protein, cheese moisture and sauce viscosity vary by batch.
04
Method — restaurant SOPs define this step, but SOPs alone don't hold it.
