What that means for your kitchen

Perini Ranch Steakhouse — Ranch-style dining in nearby Buffalo Gap — is not the same kind of operation as a counter-service kitchen, and it does not have the same technology needs. Formats that different — Steakhouse, then BBQ at Joe Allen's Pit Bar-B-Que — put very different demands on a menu, a ticket rail and a delivery hand-off. A menu covering Texas BBQ, Tex-Mex and Southern Comfort puts real pressure on modifiers, prep stations and how orders reach the line. That is the case for owning your own ordering channel in Abilene: the menu, the customer list and the margin stay with the restaurant instead of a marketplace.

Delivery and pickup zones in Abilene tend to be drawn around areas like Downtown Abilene, South Abilene and Buffalo Gap, plus 3 more across the city. Zones, fees and prep times are set per area, so a Abilene restaurant can price a short hop differently from a run across town.
