Cafe opening activity-on-arrow diagram
This activity-on-arrow diagram maps the preparation needed to open a cafe. The initial concept and menu approval establish the decisions that release equipment ordering, staff training and counter setup. Those activities run in parallel, but the opening event cannot happen until every one is finished. The model keeps the opening date connected to the operational work that makes it possible. It works well for a small hospitality launch, pop-up or concession. Adapt the names and durations for permits, supplier lead times, menu testing and the staffing plan that applies to your opening.
Open it in the AI editor with a prompt pre-filled — keep what works, change what doesn't.
Scenario
A new cafe coordinates preparation work before its opening day.
Key decisions
- Menu approval: Equipment, staff and counter preparation follow the approved menu.
- Parallel preparation: These three activities can proceed together.
- Opening event: The cafe opens only after every preparation activity finishes.
When to reuse this
Use it for a small opening plan with one approval gate and several required readiness activities.
