What that means for your kitchen

Skyline Chili — Defines Cincinnati chili since 1949 — is not the same kind of operation as a counter-service kitchen, and it does not have the same technology needs. Formats that different — Cincinnati Chili, then Cincinnati Chili at Camp Washington Chili — put very different demands on a menu, a ticket rail and a delivery hand-off. Running Cincinnati Chili, German and BBQ 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 Cincinnati: the menu, the customer list and the margin stay with the restaurant instead of a marketplace.

Delivery and pickup zones in Cincinnati tend to be drawn around areas like Over-the-Rhine, Findlay Market and Hyde Park, plus 2 more across the city. Zones, fees and prep times are set per area, so a Cincinnati restaurant can price a short hop differently from a run across town.
