How the board works
Work the large “Do this now” task. Mark it Done and the next job moves up.
Delay, Hold, Reheat, Delegate or Drop. The rest of the night rebuilds around it.
Rehearsal: it is 16:47, dinner is at 19:00. One oven cook is already twenty-five minutes behind its planned start — that slip is named on the board, even if it is not the thing you owe this minute. Use Delay, Hold, Reheat, Delegate or Drop; the rest of the night rebuilds around each change.
Do this now: Dark chocolate pots. 40 minutes past its planned start. Gigantes plaki is delayed 25 minutes, now 18:04 instead of 17:39.

Anything below done now comes out of that window.
Nothing is waiting on these. They are not due for a while, and doing one now is half an hour you will want back later.
