The kitchen OS for the line
Every call, confirmed.
Menu, prep, 86s, and pass-downs — live on every phone on the line. Heard is how the kitchen stays on the same page, from first prep to last call.
The problem
Service moves fast. Paper doesn’t.
Prep lists on clipboards, 86s shouted over the pass, notes that die on a whiteboard. The kitchen runs on calls — and calls get lost.
86 board
When something dies, everyone knows in seconds.
One tap takes an item down. The 86 board updates live on every phone on the line — no more selling the halibut you don’t have.
Prep list
Live prep, pars, and who’s on it.
Every station sees the same list. Check it off and it’s checked off everywhere — with quantities against par, so nothing gets made twice or missed.
Passdown
Shift notes that actually get read.
PM leaves it, AM opens to it. Flag a note to a person and it follows them until it’s handled.
Ask Heard
Answers from your book. With receipts.
Ask how long the beurre blanc holds and get the answer from your own recipes and standards — every answer cites its source.
Every call, confirmed
The whole kitchen, on the same page.
Menu, recipes, prep, passdown, events, and the nightly walk — one tool, built for the way a line actually talks.
86 board
The board is the board.
Taking an item down takes one tap and a reason. Everyone sees it instantly — the line, the expo, the next shift.
- One-tap 86 with a note: who called it, when, and why
- Live on every phone — no refresh, no radio chatter
- History stays on the item, so patterns surface

45 minutes, held off direct heat. Past that it splits — re-mount with a splash of cream over low.
