The problem

The list that lives in one person's head.

Every kitchen has a prep list. Most of them are on a scrap of paper, a whiteboard, or nowhere at all. Someone forgets to write it up. Someone else can't read it. A job gets missed. You find out at 6pm.

The paper list

Scrawled on the back of a order pad, impossible to read by the time service starts, gone by end of shift.

The whiteboard

One person's handwriting, in one place, updated by whoever's standing nearest. Half the brigade never sees it.

The handover gap

Prep done on earlies, nobody wrote it down. Lates start blind. Same jobs get done twice, some not at all.

How it works

On shift in three steps.

01

Set up your kitchen.

Add your sections: Starters, Mains, Pastry, whatever your kitchen runs. Invite your team with a code. Takes five minutes.

SECTIONS · TEAM · ROLES

02

Add the prep.

Task, priority, section, a photo if it needs one, and who's on it. Quick Add lets you drop in your daily favourites in seconds.

TASK · PRIORITY · PHOTO · ASSIGNEE

03

Everyone's on the same list.

Real-time, every shift, every device. When someone ticks something off, everyone sees it. No catching up, no guessing, no repeating yourself.

Features

Built for the way a kitchen actually works.

Core

Real-time shared prep list.

One list, every device, live updates. The moment someone ticks off a job, everyone else sees it. No refresh, no lag, no duplicated work.

Roles

Three levels of access.

Admin controls the kitchen setup. Supervisors manage tasks and assign jobs. Team Members work the list. The right people see the right controls.

Tasks

Everything a prep task needs.

Priority flag, section, photo evidence, assignee. Nothing lost in translation between a head chef's instruction and what actually gets done.

Speed

Quick Add for daily prep.

Save the jobs you do every day as favourites. One tap and they're back on the list, assigned and ready. No re-typing the same 20 tasks every morning.

Safety

Stale jobs don't hide.

Tasks flag at three days and escalate at seven. Old prep doesn't disappear quietly. It surfaces, so someone makes the call on it.

History

28-day log.

Every completed task stays in the log for 28 days. You can see who did what, when, and whether the photo matched the spec.

Resilience

Works without signal.

Kitchens aren't offices. The Prep List works offline and syncs the moment you're back on WiFi, with conflict resolution so nothing gets lost or overwritten.

Built by a chef

“I built this because I was sick of not knowing what had been done, and by who. Paper lists go missing. Whiteboards get wiped. Excuses don't. The Prep List puts it all in one place and everyone can see it.”

The Prep List was made in a real kitchen, for real kitchens. Not by a software team who interviewed a few chefs and built what they heard. By someone who has worked the pass, managed a brigade, and knows what a Saturday service actually feels like.

Every decision in the app comes from that. The task structure. The roles. The offline mode. There's no onboarding tour. A new commis doesn't have time for a tutorial.
