About

Dish Counter

Features
Read full description

This counter is made for the professional kitchen. Most of the restaurants still use these little printed notes to send the orders to the kitchen. As soon as many orders are rushing in it gets challenging for the cook to keep track of how many portions of what dish in what order to make. This simple app is the short term solution (before these silly paper prints are history): Features: Add a new task, separate multiple tasks by a comma Add a position (optional) Increase the number of tasks with a single tap Reduce the number with a double tap Reorder tasks with a long tap and move up or downwards Swipe to the right to edit a task Swipe to the left to delete a task A simple and elegant way to keep track. I know, the range of apps for this in the appstore is very extensive. However there is no solution that does justice to the specific situation in the restaurant kitchen. This was the reason for me to combine my by now extensive experience as a professional chef and my knowledge from almost 20 years as founder and managing director of an IT company to develop this app. apps for chefs | made by a chef
