**Who this is for:** Chefs, F&B Managers, Restaurant Owners, Catering Leads

## When to Use This Skill

Weighted specs, plating photos, and prep par levels making quality independent of who cooks.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Spec every recipe by WEIGHT, not volume; include yields and waste factors
2. Photograph the plate from guest's view; annotate components clockwise
3. Define prep par levels per station per daypart
4. Cost each recipe precisely including garnish and oil absorption
5. Blind taste-test against spec monthly across shifts
6. Version recipes like code: change log with taster sign-off

## Common Pitfalls

- "A pinch" specs dying with the chef who wrote them
- Photos of impossible styling no line cook can replicate at rush
