Mise en Place
Definition: French for "everything in its place"; the prep organization required before service.
Mise en place is the operational discipline of prepped ingredients, labeled containers, tools, and station setup so line cooks execute consistently under rush. Strong mise reduces ticket times, waste, and labor stress.
Menu design should respect mise limits: too many proteins and sauces that do not cross-utilize inflate prep labor and food cost. Prep lists and par levels tie mise to forecasted covers.
New kitchens should be designed around mise flow from receiving to cold prep to hot line, not only equipment aesthetics.
