Definitions
1
The traffic cop between kitchen and dining room. Expo reads the tickets, calls the times to the line, marshals plates as they come up, garnishes, wipes, trays and hands off to runners. Done well, expo is invisible and service hums. Done badly, the whole night derails. Sometimes a chef, sometimes a senior server, always the one being yelled at from both sides.
“Who's on expo tonight? Tickets are stacking up and nothing's leaving the window.”
