A countdown on every ticket, readable across the pass.
Once orders are on one belt, the display makes their clock impossible to miss. Every ticket carries a live SLA countdown, sits at the station that owns it, and shifts colour as its window runs down - so urgency is a glance, not a calculation.
Three states, understood without training
The whole point is that a new hand on a busy Friday reads the board correctly in their first hour. No manual, no legend on the wall.
Comfortable window
Teal means the order has room. Work it in normal sequence - no need to jump the queue.
Window closing
Orange means the clock is getting tight. This is the ticket that should be moving now.
Promise slipping
Red is reserved for genuine breaches, so it still means something when it appears.
Give every order a clock the whole kitchen can see
