Tell ChefSync what time you’d like to serve your meal, add the dishes you’re making and how long each one takes, and it generates a timeline for single or multi-course meals. Working backward from your serving time, ChefSync creates a flexible cooking timeline that tells you when each dish needs to go into the oven and when it should be removed, with notifications sent directly to your phone. Running late? Adjust your serving time and your timeline adjusts with you. When multiple dishes need the oven, ChefSync does more than manage the schedule. It automatically adjusts cooking times and temperatures so dishes with different requirements can share the oven and still cook properly. Whether you’re serving everything at once or planning multiple courses, ChefSync keeps the food flowing when you want it. No mental math. No juggling unrelated timers. No cold side dishes waiting for the main course. ChefSync coordinates the meal around when you want to serve it. With ChefSync, you can: • Coordinate up to six dishes in the oven at once • Adjust cooking times and temperatures so different dishes can share the oven • Plan everything around the time you want to serve • Get notifications telling you when each dish needs your attention • Plan single or multiple courses so food keeps flowing when you want it • Choose Fahrenheit or Celsius • Keep track of table extras like bread and condiments so nothing gets forgotten • Add Chef’s Notes for reminders and special instructions • Save menus and use them again The goal isn’t to have six timers running. The goal is to have every dish ready together.
