Answers from your kitchen records
How long can the beurre blanc hold at the pass?
45 minutes at the pass, held off direct heat. Past that it splits — re-mount with a splash of cream over low heat. Never let it boil.

THE SHORT VERSION
Questions from the line.
What Heard is, what it replaces, and where it deliberately stops.
What is a digital 86 board?
A digital 86 board gives the whole kitchen one live list of dishes and ingredients that are unavailable. In Heard, when someone 86s an item, every phone on the line updates so the call does not disappear into a group chat or stay trapped on one whiteboard.
What does kitchen management software replace?
Heard brings the 86 board, prep list, recipes, and signed pass-down notes into one shared workspace. It replaces the operational mix of whiteboards, paper lists, binders, and messages that scroll away while keeping each part recognizable to the crew.
Does Heard replace our kitchen group chat?
For kitchen operations, yes. A group chat is still useful for conversation, but an 86 call, prep assignment, recipe, or pass-down should be easy to find after the conversation moves on. Heard keeps that work in a live board instead of a message thread.
Does Heard integrate with our POS?
No. Heard is built for back-of-house operations rather than point-of-sale. It gives the kitchen a shared 86 board, prep list, recipe book, and pass-down record without requiring a POS integration.
