M.C. Mayolas Pi is a rising scholar in operations management and foodservice systems, with a focused interest in service efficiency and spatial optimization. Her most cited work, "Busiest Store in a Cramped Space: Can a Ghost Kitchen Optimize Coffee Shop Efficiency?" (2024, 3 citations), addresses a pressing real-world dilemma: how small, high-traffic foodservice venues can overcome multi-factorial service inefficiencies. The case study dissects both internal operational bottlenecks and external constraints, offering a reflective framework for practitioners seeking to implement changes—such as adopting ghost kitchen models. While early in her career, Mayolas Pi’s work bridges academic analysis and practical problem-solving, providing actionable insights for entrepreneurs and managers. Her research contributes to the growing literature on lean service design and the strategic use of off-site preparation spaces. As ghost kitchens and compact retail formats proliferate, her findings offer timely guidance for optimizing throughput without sacrificing quality. Mayolas Pi’s scholarship signals a promising trajectory in applied operations research, with potential to influence both hospitality education and industry practice.
