FAQ

Questions kitchens ask.

What is the difference between Heard and meez?
meez is recipe management and food costing software, described on its site as a culinary system of record: recipes, scaling, costing, inventory, nutrition labels and training. Heard runs the service line: a live 86 board, a live prep list with owners, recipes with scaling, and signed pass-down notes with team chat, on every plan.
Does meez have an 86 board or a prep list?
As of October 19, 2026, the meez site lists no 86 board, shift notes or team chat. Its daily production page covers batch scaling and step-by-step recipe guides rather than an assignable prep list with owners and status.
