“This is a photograph of a Waffle House grill cook’s cheat sheet. The photographs indicate the way in which a cook marks his orders. These secret plate markers allow a Waffle House cook to simultaneously prepare multiple customer orders at once. Let me give you an example. If I were to order three scrambled eggs, dry wheat toast, and hash browns, the waitress would face the grill and yell out loud — ‘Mark: Triple scrambled dry wheat plate.’ The cook would then quickly take a large dinner plate, turn it sideways, and place a tub of jelly upside down at the six o’clock position.” (Thanks kottke.org!)
