How a Michelin-starred kitchen replaced a 600 sq ft cooler with a wall of Bays.
Pearblossom swapped its produce cooler for six interlinked Verdant Bays in 2024. Eighteen months in, salad cost-per-cover has dropped 38%, in-house herb varieties have grown from 9 to 27, and the OS schedules harvest windows around the prep brigade's mise rather than the other way around.
"The OS schedules harvest around our prep, not the other way around. That's the part chefs don't believe until they see it."
