Turn a day's scheduled recipes into a run the floor works from — build it, read the screen, and start the first batch.
Real help from real food people
Chef Diego runs a real food plant. If this page didn't get you there, tell us — a person reads every message.
Monday, 6 a.m. The schedule says base sauce and marinara, the kettles are cold, and the crew needs one screen that tells them what to make and lets them start weighing. That screen is a production run — the floor's working copy of a day's scheduled recipes. You build it in the morning, and it carries each batch from the first weigh to the last label. Open Production runs to see what's on the floor today, or start a new one.
Kitchen+A run is assembled from recipes you already scheduled onto a day. If a day has nothing scheduled yet, schedule a plan into runs first — there's nothing to add without it.
Start a new run
From Production runs, select New. If a run for today already exists, open it from the list instead of building a second one for the same work.
Pick the day you scheduled
Set Scheduled for to the date those recipes were scheduled. The recipes for that date appear below, grouped by department. If you see Nothing scheduled for this date, that day has no scheduled work — pick another date or schedule the plan first.
Set the run's date and name
Run date is the day the run is stamped with — today, unless you change it. Name is optional; leave it blank and the run goes by its number instead. Add Notes if the crew needs them.
Choose the recipes to include
Check each scheduled recipe you're producing, or use Select all to take a whole department at once. A recipe already on another run is greyed out and marked In PR-6, so you can't schedule the same work twice.
Create the run
Select Create run. Bettr opens the new run, ready for the floor. The button stays disabled until you've checked at least one recipe.
When the run opens, each recipe you picked becomes a . Line items are grouped by department, under a heading with the department's name and how many recipes it holds.
The tabs across the top move you through the run:
When a run spans more than one department, a Department filter appears on the left. A row of counts — All, Weigh inputs, Weigh output, Pending, Finished — narrows the recipe list to the work that still needs doing.
Which view you land in comes from your role. If your role opens runs as a supervisor, a toggle sits at the top-right to switch between Operator and Supervisor. If it opens as an operator, you get the operator view with no toggle — the floor works from a single, focused screen.
Add a recipe you missed
In the supervisor view, Add recipe on an open run pulls in another of the day's scheduled recipes that isn't on a run yet. Use it when a batch gets added to the plan after the run is already going.
Every line item carries a status, and its button follows from it:
Select Start, or the recipe's name, to open the line item and weigh ingredients into the first batch. Once the floor records that first weigh, the recipe reads In progress and the run moves from Pending to Ongoing — the day is now underway.
A run can't be deleted once it's produced
You can delete a run right up until its first recipe is finished. After that, Delete disappears — the run has produced something the batch record needs to keep.
