The way it's done now

The morning prep cook guesses from yesterday's list, Saturday runs out of short rib by eight, and the waste bucket is a mystery.

01

Pars by day of week

Fridays need more aioli than Tuesdays. Set pars per prep item per day and the list adjusts itself.

02

Par minus on-hand

Count what's left, and the list says exactly how much to make — in batches, if that's how you make it.

03

Waste valued at the day's cost

Log waste with a reason — overproduction, spoilage, a dropped hotel pan — and see it in dollars, not pounds.
