The shared prep list keeps the whole team informed of what needs doing, what's been done and when.
The shared prep list keeps everyone in the loop about what needs doing, what’s already been done, and when. Anyone in the kitchen team can contribute to the prep list, reducing reliance on the head chef writing on a whiteboard. Plus, chefs working the next day can check in and know what to expect from their shift.
Let's say your Tuesday night was unusually busy and the amount of prep before tomorrows service is much larger than normal. The chef due in first thing tomorrow might get there a few minutes earlier to get a head start on the extra prep, so you're all set for service.
