Running a historic restaurant at scale

Operations Manager · Sharaf Al-Eslami Restaurant · 2017 – present

  • 3Branches
  • 80People
  • ≈ 2,000Guests / day

Sharaf Al-Eslami is a long-established restaurant in Tehran's Grand Bazaar. I manage everything guests never see: staffing, cash flow, tax, supply chain and quality control, across three branches.

Problem

High daily volume across three branches, each needing the same control over cash, tax and stock.

What I did

Introduced a structured accounting and tax system across all branches, and wrote SOPs for each one.

Result

Shared processes and comparable numbers across all three branches.

Discovery

Real problems from daily service: cash, tax, staffing and branch reporting.

Build

I design and develop it myself, end to end.

Status

In active development.

Portrait of Alireza Bagheri Rafie
Alireza Bagheri Rafie · Tehran

I started in restaurant operations in 2015 and have run high-volume kitchens and dining rooms ever since. I also founded and ran my own coffee brand, Barisma, from concept to suppliers to margins.

My background is unusual for the industry: an associate degree in information technology, then a bachelor's in hospitality management. That mix is why I build software for the problems I see on the floor.

Operations that hold up under pressure, and systems that keep working when I'm not in the room.
