HEARD.

ABOUT HEARD

Built on the line,not in a back office.

Heard was made by Logan Manuel while working in a kitchen — shaped between prep and service, for the people who run them.

THE STORY

Every kitchen runs on calls. Most of them get lost.

Heard started as a fix for a problem Logan lived with every shift. Working in a kitchen, the calls that mattered — an item 86’d, a prep task claimed, a note for the morning crew — went onto whiteboards, sticky notes, and group chats that had scrolled away by the time anyone needed them.

So he built the tool he wanted at the pass: one live model of the kitchen, on every phone on the line. The menu and the 86 board are the same surface. Prep shows who owns what. Pass-downs are signed and timestamped. Roux answers from the kitchen’s own recipes and shows where it looked.

Heard was designed and built around real service — between prep and the first ticket, after close, on days off. Every screen is shaped by what actually gets used mid-service: big tap targets, high contrast, fast loads, and nothing to install.

A NOTE FROM LOGAN

I didn’t set out to build software. I set out to stop losing calls. When something gets 86’d at the pass, every cook should know before the next ticket prints — not after someone checks the group chat.

Heard is the tool I wanted on my own phone during service. If it’s useful in your kitchen, I’d like to hear about it. If it isn’t, I’d like to hear that even more.

HOW IT’S BUILT

What working the line taught the product.

BUILT ON SHIFT

Designed during service.

Heard was shaped in a working kitchen, not a conference room. If a screen couldn’t be read at arm’s length between tickets, it got rebuilt.

EVERY CALL, CONFIRMED

Nothing lives in a scrolling chat.

86s, prep, and pass-downs are records the crew can find after the conversation moves on — signed, timestamped, and live on every phone.

NOTHING TO INSTALL

Runs on the phones you already have.

Heard is a web app. Open it, sign in, and the line is in sync — no app store, no IT ticket, no back office required.

Built for your kitchen. Not a boardroom.
