PrepLine
Prep the right amount, every day
Combines the live reservation timeline with historical menu-mix data to produce a per-station prep plan for the next service — how much of what to have ready, when.
- 1 Plan per service
- Live Re-plan during service
- Station Granularity by default
PrepLine looks ahead. It takes tomorrow's reservations from the floor plan, blends them with the historical mix of what guests actually ordered at similar bookings, and produces a prep plan the head chef can run the line from.
During service, it watches actual orders vs plan and adjusts — if the lamb is flying off, it nudges the kitchen before the night's supply is gone. Prep becomes a number, not a feeling.
Everything PrepLine handles for you
-
Service forecast
Predicts covers, dish mix, and modifier load for the next service window.
-
Per-station plan
Output is broken out by station — grill, cold, pastry — so the chef can hand it straight down.
-
Live re-plan
Reruns during service when actuals diverge — nudges the kitchen before supply runs out.
-
Waste signal
Reports overstock patterns to trim the next day's prep.
