In this brief segment of a YouTube video, two speakers discuss how a bagel shop can handle sudden, large walk‑in orders—such as a request for 12 dozen bagels just ten minutes before closing—by preparing the order on the spot and delivering piping‑hot bagels to the customer. They propose implementing a Kanban‑style production system that schedules baking tasks based on real‑time demand, allowing the shop to meet tight timelines while dramatically cutting waste. The conversation highlights the practical benefits of agile workflow management for instant customer satisfaction in a bakery setting.

And someone could walk in 10 minutes to closing and say, hey, I want 12 dozen salt and pepper bagels. And we can say, cool, we'll have that for you in 10 minutes. And you could walk out with piping hot bagels, anything you want.
Well, you could imagine a Kanban system then that you put in place. And, you know, when you got down to Whatever the timing would be, you know, but you reduce your waste dramatically.
Yep.
And, and always satisfy your customer.
