You have been recently hired to run your restaurant's KitchenOps program. The restaurant is so close to its 5th Michelin star, you can taste it!
One way to attain that 5th star is to deliver consistently perfect results in meal preparation. This means having complete control over:
- Oven, stovetop, and grill temperature settings
- Shelflife of the freshest ingredients (and the soup!)
- Consistency of food preparation times per meal time
- and more.
Being in the 4-star tier, this restaurant has recently invested in IoT telemetry to track these sorts of things, and the restaurant owner's IT person has already created a set of library panels for these sensors.
All we have to do is present them in a way that is easy for the kitchen staff to understand and attractive enough - if they were to peek into the kitchen - for an anonymous Michelin inspector to notice!
At the end of this exercise, everyone will vote on who has the best dashboard (you cannot vote for your own dashboard). Please name your team so that everyone knows who to vote for....good luck!
A couple of kitchen standards:
-
While ground spices are typically replaced at 6 months and other spices should be replaced every 2-4 years, this kitchen tries to keep spices for no more than 4 months - when they remember.
-
The grill needs to kept at 387 degrees, plus or minus 7 degrees for our signature "Bodacious Burger"
-
We need to track how long each chef cooks our signature, pan-seared "Choice Coho (Salmon)". Since we individually choose each salmon fillet for consistent thickness, freshness and quality, we are still getting inconsistent ratings from our guests. Each side needs to be cooked for 150 seconds - no more, no less.
-
The refrigerator needs to stay between 35 and 38 degrees. Some unknown chef has nightmares from a former food safety violation when their previous restaurant's temperature was found to be 41 degress (a food safety violation) and now keeps turning down the temperature, making the eggs freeze on occasion.
-
The lobster mac n' cheese is so popular that one of the ovens is now the dedicated "MacOven". It stays at 375 degrees for best results but can vary 25 degrees in either direction.
-
Our restaurant's multicolor mood lighting is incredible. Let's make sure 100% of the lights are working.
-
Let's make sure the room temperature is 70 degrees (F) in all 8 zones of our dining rooms. We don't want our guests to suffer the chill below 69 or a heat above 71 degrees Farenheit.
Prerequisite: We first need to import the Dashboard Makeover Challenge
dashboard.
Steps to Import:
- Go to the Dashboards (4 squares) icon in the left menu and click on + Import.
- In the Import via grafana.com field, type in
16415
and then click Load. - You will be asked to choose three of your dashboard's data sources:
3a. For TestData DB, choose
TestData DB
. 3b. For Google Sheets, chooseGoogle Sheets
. 3c. You will also notice that library panels will be imported automatically. 3d. Click on Import.
Using this dashboard as a starting point, and using the techniques you learned from the workshop, create the best dashboard possible and send the results to [email protected]. The top 7 dashboards will win some cool Grafana swag.
For inspiration, you can import dashboard 16417
.
Good Luck!!!
