mise
Your station setup; everything prepped and in its place before service.
Definitions
Your prep. Every diced shallot, every squeeze bottle, every pan within arm's reach — labelled, portioned, ready to fire. If your mise is tight you can cook a busy Saturday on autopilot. If it's loose you're in the weeds by 7pm. Chefs treat it as a religion, not a chore.
