Wait, those never really went away for installs.

Remember my friend who drove 10 hours to save on a flight? She was so tired from the drive she slept through half her first vacation day... total waste.

Exactly, people notice consistency. I switched to pre-portioning everything before service and it solved the same problem.

Remember that trend of reusing plastic bags for veggies? Tried it with bell peppers once. They got soft and weird in a couple days. My fridge smelled like a compost bin. Sometimes the extra plastic is there for a reason, annoying as it is.

Totally get this, my grandma's pasta sauce recipe is locked down the same way lol. She wrote it in this old book but uses codes for the real spices, like "summer spice" instead of telling us the actual mix. My aunt tried to copy it for years and it never tastes right, something's always off. Those family secrets really do feel like you need to earn them through blood or marriage. Guarding that stuff becomes a point of pride, you know? I'd probably do the same thing with my burger blend if I had one worth hiding.
