Production : tâches par poste et par cuisinier

The prep plan on the whiteboard, wiped after every service. On the Saturday of the wedding, nobody knows who’s making the 120 tarts, or whether there’s enough butter to make them.

Rules in the app, not market averages.

Every task has its station and its cook.

In portions, litres or kilos, by day or by event. The brigade sees its list, and the production sheet prints by station or by cook.

Frequently asked questions

Another question? Write to us at contact@zesto.app

Can I plan in portions, litres or kilos?

Yes, each task picks its own unit.

What if the recipe changes after planning?

Each task keeps a copy of the recipe as it was when planned, until it’s ordered or deducted. Your figures don’t shift halfway through.

What can I print?

The production sheet, the list per cook or per station, recipe sheets in A4 or compact format, and use-by or INCO labels.

How is stock updated?

At the end of service: ingredients go out, preparations go in or are recorded as sold, with no double deduction against sales.

Can I reuse a past production?

Yes, any production can be duplicated in one click.

Production doesn’t work alone.

Recipes give it its quantities, orders supply it, and stock follows what it does.
