BOH
Definition: Back of house: kitchen, prep, dish, and storage areas not open to guests.
BOH includes cooking line, prep, walk-in storage, dish pit, and receiving. BOH design drives labor efficiency, food safety, and hood and refrigeration requirements.
Insufficient BOH square footage creates perpetual bottlenecks even with skilled staff. Health inspectors focus on BOH hand sinks, temperature logs, and cross-contamination controls.
Ghost kitchens are almost entirely BOH operations with packaging and dispatch replacing traditional FOH.
