When coordinating with the kitchen during burger assembly, what should you verify?

• A. Serve the burger exactly as logged on the ticket, without kitchen confirmation.
• B. Verify the exact toppings, sauces, and modifications on the ticket and confirm with the kitchen.
• C. Assume standard build unless told otherwise.
• D. Ask the guest to verify after they receive the burger.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is to verify every detail of the order with the kitchen so the burger is built exactly as requested. You should review the exact toppings, sauces, and any modifications listed on the ticket and confirm those with the kitchen before assembling. This ensures the final burger matches the customer’s request and prevents mistakes like missing toppings, extra sauce, or substitutions, which can lead to unhappy guests and waste.

When you verify, you read the ticket details aloud or display them clearly, then get a clear confirmation from the kitchen that they’ve understood and will execute those specifics. If anything’s unclear, ask right away rather than guessing.

Relying on the ticket alone without kitchen confirmation risks errors, assuming a standard build ignores special requests, and asking the guest to verify after delivery is inefficient and can delay service.
