Aug 9, 2010 at 17:42 comment added stack Yeah, definitely no Gantt charts in my kitchen -- I just review recipes ahead of time and hope everything sticks (the floating-vaguely-in-your-head technique). Luckily I haven't been in charge of handling any epic feasts, or I'd have to add more structure.
Aug 9, 2010 at 7:42 comment added Tobias Op Den Brouw Which you did, yes. :) But I assume you don't have Gantt charts in your kitchen yourself. Do you use a watered-down version, or is it all floating vaguely in your head (like it is for me)?
Aug 6, 2010 at 22:01 comment added stack Maybe... though mine is perhaps more consistent/definitive in terms of method, and allows you to map dependencies more clearly. Basically I just wanted to offer up what's probably the most extreme management method you could feasibly use. :)
Aug 6, 2010 at 13:15 comment added Tobias Op Den Brouw A good answer - but it's basically hobodave's answer as well, right? While I applaud the nice result this planning will put out, I guess it will be a casualty on the kitchen floor as soon as something goes out of whack - whiteboard (and a bit of yelling) will help. Still, when cooking for a huge meal, many courses, a few cooks, it might be a nice tool to get everyone on board. And it will pinpoint bottlenecks (too many pans, not enough fire) as well.
