Drawing on eighteen years of frontline experience, author Molade Abiodun Adeboye bridges the gap between lean manufacturing theory and the messy reality of perishable inventory, unreliable infrastructure, and labour‑cost sensitivity. The Playbook introduces five actionable pillars—Data, Flow, Waste, Technology, and People—each grounded in real‑life scenarios that have been tested and proven.
Readers will learn how to reduce buffet spoilage in Mumbai using WhatsApp polling, cut idle labour hours in Accra with digital scheduling, implement EU‑compliant waste reduction in Amsterdam, and deploy AI inventory management in New York—without expensive overhauls.
The book provides low‑tech, high‑impact tools: the 90‑minute observation protocol, value‑stream mapping for hospitality, a technology maturity matrix, and a regulatory readiness checklist. Every chapter ends with immediate action steps.
