Expediting

Today I was the expeditor. Sure, I did a bunch of cooking during prep. But when service started I was posted at the board.
The board is where you mark all the orders - the waiters punch the orders into a computer and a ticket gets printed by the pick-up table.
The expeditor reads the ticket and puts the information on a board, he then calls out the orders.

"Order table 28 two Tilapia, four salmon", the station then echoes the order and gets prepared to put out the dishes. When the head waiter tells the expediter to "fire" a table, the expediter yells "Fire table 28 two Tilapia, four Salmon". Five minutes later the dishes are on the pick-up table...

It's a very good system that leaves little room for error, the night ended without any glitches.
It was a good experience to expedite, but boy did I miss being on the line...
