What does TIP TOP stand for?

• A. Talking in Position & Talking out of Position
• B. Talking In Place & Talking Out of Place
• C. Talking in Position & Talking out of Position
• D. Talking In Position and Talking Out of Position

Answer: (A)

TIP TOP is about when to speak on the kitchen line. It means you should communicate from your assigned station and avoid talking when you’re not in your position. This keeps the line organized, prevents crowding, and reduces miscommunication so orders flow smoothly. The standard phrasing uses Talking in Position and Talking out of Position, linked together, which matches the training terminology. Variations that say Place instead of Position or that use different connectors don’t reflect the established cue, so they aren’t considered correct.
