Waffle House Marker System

This video from Waffle House swept into my Recommendations today. It starts kind of unhinged, then quickly gets fully unhinged and just keeps its trajectory towards insanity.

At Waffle House, cooks remember their orders by putting packets and other seemingly random stuff on a plate, and the types and positions of the packets tells you what order it is. Like, putting an upside down jelly packet with a mustard packet on the bottom of a plate means: scrambled eggs with 3 eggs and wheat bread. The packets are the “markers”. Want some hash browns? Cook sprinkles some hash browns at the top of the plate. Want those hash browns steamed? A butter cup is added.

The customer doesn’t get the markers, they’re removed from the plate before it goes to the customer.

Insanity.

It reminded me of my weird keyboard shortcut “system”, just without the upside-down mustard packets.

A must-watch, in my opinion.
