What that means for your kitchen

American Coney Island — Original Detroit Coney since 1917 — is not the same kind of operation as a counter-service kitchen, and it does not have the same technology needs. Formats that different — Coney Island, then Coney Island at Lafayette Coney Island — put very different demands on a menu, a ticket rail and a delivery hand-off. Running Coney Island, Middle Eastern and Greek off one system means modifier groups and kitchen routing have to be genuinely flexible. That is the case for owning your own ordering channel in Detroit: the menu, the customer list and the margin stay with the restaurant instead of a marketplace.

Delivery and pickup zones in Detroit tend to be drawn around areas like Corktown, Midtown and Greektown, plus 2 more across the city. Zones, fees and prep times are set per area, so a Detroit restaurant can price a short hop differently from a run across town.
