Architect the menu

Can this kitchen finish this menu on time?

Open Menu Builder

In this step

  • Declare occasion, guest count, service style, host attention, equipment
  • Assign five roles and pick a pairing mode
  • Lock an anchor dish and re-score around it
  • Apply bounded simplification where stress is highest

You leave with

A stress summary with hard stops resolved — or an honest refusal.

02SC-OOS-001

Run the night

What happens, in what order, and who is holding it?

Open Occasion Operating System

In this step

  • Carry the Menu Builder packet forward (your choice, contract 1.1.0)
  • Set conditions: guests, service style, attention budget, capacity
  • Build the shop → prep → serve route
  • Keep dietary categories as planning filters only

You leave with

One host plan you can work from, with the food-safety boundary in view.
