What that means for your kitchen

Sami's Fine Mediterranean — Upscale Middle Eastern dining — is not the same kind of operation as a counter-service kitchen, and it does not have the same technology needs. Formats that different — Mediterranean, then Lebanese at Sahara Restaurant — put very different demands on a menu, a ticket rail and a delivery hand-off. Menus that span Lebanese, Iraqi/Chaldean and Mediterranean need modifiers, portion options and prep routing that hold up during a rush — not a template built for one cuisine. That is the case for owning your own ordering channel in Sterling Heights: the menu, the customer list and the margin stay with the restaurant instead of a marketplace.

Delivery and pickup zones in Sterling Heights tend to be drawn around areas like Van Dyke corridor, 15 Mile Road area and Lakeside Mall district, plus 3 more across the city. Zones, fees and prep times are set per area, so a Sterling Heights restaurant can price a short hop differently from a run across town.
