Resumo

The social structures of restaurants and factories are contrasted. Increasing size of organization is related to increasing difficulty in co-ordinating restaurant activities. The frictions occuring along the flow of work from kitchen to customer are analyzed in terms of formal structure, interaction, symbols, attitudes, and layout and equipment. Finally, this research is used to illustrate certain general propositions on method and theory.
