Kumusta Episode 4

Lacks balance

1. I already knew they were going to mess up because the way the orders were placed on the kitchen was random.

Always remember: FIFO. First In, First Out. That principle applies in almost all aspects of life.

So for orders, always move the first to the right-most side, and you place the new ones to the left. Everytime an order slip is done, you move every pending slips to the right.

You also always mark which items were served so you are not guessing. And in case the next order is similar, you can move to that already, while still cooking the other items from the long order.

It's fine if you're new. No issue there. But it is a lesson to take heart. FIFO. First In, First Out.

2. The episode focused too much on the big group. That's fine, it's the episode title after all! I just wished they showed more of the kitchen and how they handled the sudden influx of orders, group orders at that.

It could've added more context as to what exactly happened. I have a suspicion it isn't just because they didn't follow FIFO principle.

But yes, maybe they'll show it in Episode 5.

3. All I'm saying is that E04 left the audience, or just me, in a bad mood. It was like the episode was edited in a way to emphasize the error and how bad it was to make Koreans wait. Which isn't about Koreans or Korean culture at all, making customers wait is bad no matter which country you are at, so there was no need to emphasized it in this episode.

They made mistakes. We know that. They're newbies to this type of work. It isn't an excuse and I am not defending them because they're Filipinos, but again, E04 tipped too much on emphasizing their mistakes. It lacked balance. You don't do this in competition/survival type variety shows, there's always a balance in each episode.

They could've titled Episode 04 as "Chaotic Filipino Restaurant Made Koreans Wait Forever". 🤪🤣😝😜😆 That's what I got from E04.

Likely too late to update the future episodes, but at least, the editing team and directors might discovere this feedback so they can improve their style in their future projects.
