Aplateful for
Tasting menu establishments -
every table on the same menu, at different tempos.
A room where every table is on the tasting menu is really a room of overlapping evenings. Aplateful sequences them so the kitchen never bottlenecks on course three at eight-thirty.
What changes in the kitchen
- Full-evening sequencingEvery course, every table, mapped to one evening timeline. The load is shaped, not left to chance.
- No station bottlenecksThe engine spaces fire times so the fish station is never five turbots deep at once.
- Every table its own tempoA slower two-top and a brisker four-top on the same menu, without either being rushed or held.
- One pass viewChef sees the whole room's course state in one screen - what fired, what is holding, what fires next.
