Salty Desk

Shared boundary

What the deskwill not do.

Every tool in the suite holds the same limits. Each one below states the limit, why it exists, and what happens instead. They are design decisions, not gaps waiting to be filled.

Binding on your selection

Answer the triage console on the desk and this panel names only the limits that actually bind your night — with the reason each one applies to you.

Hard limits, grouped

Safety

No allergen safety or cross-contact control

WhyCross-contact is a kitchen-surface and handling problem. No planning tool can observe it, so no planning tool can certify it.

InsteadDietary categories work as planning filters. The safety conversation happens live, with whoever is cooking.

Fail closed on hard stops: capacity, allergen boundary, official conflicts

WhyA quietly degraded plan is more dangerous than a refused one, because it still looks like a plan.

InsteadThe tool refuses and names the breached constraint. A refusal is an outcome, not an error to click past.

Data movement

No silent movement of data between tools

WhyEach tool owns its own state. Background sync would make a handoff something you did not choose.

InsteadYou send a public-safe packet, and the map shows what travels and what is withheld before you send it.

No forced account for core planning tools

WhyPlanning is local work. An account requirement would collect identity the tools do not need.

InsteadCore planning runs on local state. Nothing is uploaded to use the desk.

Evidence

No star ratings, social-proof collapse, or inferred “best restaurant” rankings

WhyA single score hides the disagreement that made it. Collapsed proof cannot be audited.

InsteadFirst-party case files with confidence labels and open unknowns left visible, ranked only against your stated occasion.

Scope

Educational planning only — not professional kitchen, medical, or legal advice

WhyThe suite has no view of your kitchen, your health, or your jurisdiction.

InsteadUse it to make the decision legible, then take the decision to the people qualified to certify it.

Standing rules

Reader-job-first
Every surface names the decision it serves before it shows a control.
Explicit handoffs only
Nothing moves between tools unless you choose to move it.
Educational planning only
Planning intelligence, not professional certification.
First-party evidence
Case files come from the source, with unknowns left visible.
No allergen guarantees
Dietary categories are filters. Safety stays with the kitchen.
Fail closed
Hard constraints stop the plan instead of quietly degrading it.
