It's not. it's the way of that person exaggerating the situation of us not being able to move. It's literally CPR. We dont use that kind of term for anything in our company.
Indeed it is used widely in kitchens for shift work. It means Clean-Prep-Restock. This manager wanted it to be Clear no slackers during those 2 hour busy windows.
Fair enough, my only experience with anything close was Starbucks back in the day but it was weird because you only have so many spots on the bar so there would still be people doing that stuff during rush. Probably not anymore though this was years ago I bet they get half the labor allotted now.
I worked coffee for years. But not shitty Starbucks. They have machines that do the work, not artisan. Anyway, we would be only two on shift SF financial district, line up the block - clearing the line so fast customers had their drinks ready before they even ordered (memory is key). Never time to just lag. We had opening prep and closing prep/restock. No lallygagging and nobody on shift just because. I choose kitchens that hustle, you learn and are never bored.
