Did you know there’s a “marking system” for your food?

In this TikTok, a cook shows how they communicate orders in a “marking system.” Line cooks share information with each other without having to talk; they just simply place certain items in certain ways on the plate. For example, a jelly at the bottom, flipped up with butter next to it means that person will get a biscuit and not toast. Cheese slices, napkins, and sprinkled hash browns are used too. Have you ever noticed that the waiter might look at the plates too? How did they remember who had the wheat toast? Maybe they didn’t! The Waffle House employee got some flack from some restaurant workers saying the system was difficult and unnecessary, but their system works for them! Pretty rad!
