A cook announcing they're leaving their station for a minute — bathroom, walk-in run, smoke, whatever. It's a courtesy and a safety thing: the rest of the line knows to watch their pans, catch their tickets, and not let anything burn. Always answered with an audible "heard."
“Off line, two minutes — somebody watch my risotto.”
