In the world of restaurants, the eternal conflict between chefs and waiters is most evident in the kitchen.

Training to Retain: Elevating Restaurant Staff Retention with AI-Enhanced Learning

Efficient Kitchen Workflows: A Must for Every Chef In recent years, I’ve noticed a decline in teaching critical kitchen steps that ensure efficiency. Take peeling and dicing potatoes as an example: always peel ALL the potatoes first, then cut them into logs, squares, planks, and finally your desired dice. Completing each step fully before moving to the next is key. Equally important is multitasking—start roasting tomatoes or reducing a sauce while cutting chives for the next task. Properly teaching these skills improves kitchen flow and maximizes productivity. Let’s bring back these essential fundamentals! Please start teaching this in schools and first jobs before learning how to set something with sodium algenate. Show them watch them teach them reinforce and reward. 😎🍳⏲️⏲️⏲️⏲️ Www.infinityculinary.com

Confession Time 🗣 A few years ago, whilst working in the kitchen of a prestigious school during a particularly hectic lunch rush, I was tasked with just two jobs - delivering gravy and chocolate sauce to various dining halls during the respective courses. 🍽 You’re probably already ahead of me on this one… 🤦♂️ There were about six different houses being catered for within this building, each with at least 100 students needing to be fed. Each house had its usual pace at eating and where one may still be working through their main course, another was starting on their dessert. In a moment of haste, I accidentally mixed up the two trolleys. 🤯 Cue noises of disgust, frustration, annoyance and, for the students at least, hilarity. At the young age I was at the time (17) I wasn’t sure what to do, but to just deal with the mistake I had made. The kitchen staff, though clearly annoyed with me, quickly rectified the mistake and ensured that everyone received their correct meal. While this mistake has stuck in my mind (+21 years), it also provided a valuable lesson. Mistakes are inevitable in any position or role we have. While some lessons are learned and avoided, others may be repeated, often unintentionally. It’s crucial to remember that mistakes do not define someone's character. But… Are we providing safe spaces for people to not only admit mistakes, but make them in the first place? #SaferCultures #HealthyEnvironment  #Learning  #HumorousMistakes #Leadership Cornerstone Safeguarding

How important is a new hire’s first day? Jay Hartwig at Fox Restaurant Concepts expands on his presentation from CHART - Council of Hotel and Restaurant Trainers and explains why the first impression during onboarding can make or break long-term retention. When done right, employees feel valued and empowered to thrive. When it's disorganized, the impact can last for months. Check out the discussion with Jay Hartwig here: https://bit.ly/3TLKREf
