Simple automations grow into tangled diagrams. Follow one case through the failures: where is it waiting, can a person recover it, can the rules change safely?

When ordering hiccups mid-service, automation needs honest statuses, handoffs to real people and fallbacks with a way back to normal.

Many workflows need clear rules plus one interpretation step, not an autonomous agent. Map the task, then compare designs on the same awkward cases.

Automated kitchens still need menus that tell the truth about stock and capacity, orders that move forward visibly and exceptions treated as part of the product.

When one function handles approvals, suppliers and timeouts, explicit workflow states, recorded steps and planned recovery make the process supportable.
