These are the standard kitchen phrases. Use them, your kitchen will love you for it.
| All day | The total count of an item across all open tickets. Chef, that is six all day, two paneer, four chicken. |
| On the fly | I need this fast, ahead of the normal queue. Chef, can we get a on the fly for table 12? |
| Super rush / VIP | Drop everything, this one is urgent. Chef, super rush on the fries for 18, please. Use sparingly. |
| Fire | Start cooking the next course or the held order. Chef, can we fire the second course on table 7? |
| 86 | Out of stock. Kitchen says 86 on the lamb means we are out of lamb. Pass it to the cashiers immediately. |
| Heard / heard that | I acknowledge what you said. Use it back to the kitchen so they know you got it. |
| Hands | I need a runner. Chef, hands on table 18 when you can. |
| Behind | I am walking behind you with hot food. Always say it in a tight kitchen. |
