Restaurants are not easy!!! The highs are high but short lived. The lows are lower than low and not for the faint hearted. If it’s one thing we’ve learned over the past 15 years you need a dream team to keep Chef going. Shoutouts to our dream team. You keep us going. Xo. ❤️

Leading Kitchens: Chef vs. Team Dynamics
"In a professional kitchen if the Chef de Cuisine can't control or direct his team is it time to change the team or the Chef de Cuisine or both?"
I'm curious to hear from fellow industry professionals:
Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below!
When things go wrong in my restaurants (usually I say “our” restaurants, but when things go wrong, I say “my”) and we fail a guest, I’m all about owning the mistake with honesty.
I don’t think you can try to be sincere or honest – you are either are, and people know, or you aren’t, and people know. We teach a required class to our chefs & managers about what to do when we make a mistake or a guest is unhappy.
Through discussion and role play, and watching video of ourselves, we explore how we are perceived, and we talk about how to get the guest feeling positive. First step is ensuring what’s in your heart is right, and second step is getting competent and confident to show it, so you can connect with what’s in guest’s heart.
Guests know when they are being “handled” or the apologies are insincere – seems funny to say, but sincerity still needs practice!

Pratiksha was riding her cycle to the Culintch Restaurant. It was her first day of work. She was very excited about it that she did not shut her eyes for even a minute the previous night. She had heard a lot about the Restaurant and would always crave to be a part of it whenever she crossed it or had a meal there. One of the greatest aspects about the Restaurant was its dashing Head Chef, Josh Brahams who had won many accolades for his work and he was the reason that many new Chefs aspired to work there and to be guided by him. Pratiksha cycled quickly towards her dreams but was a few minutes late due to the heavy traffic. A senior chef scolded her for her unpunctuality, but Josh stepped in and spoke for her.
She repeatedly made many mistakes like cutting the Veggies in irregular shapes, adding too much salt to the curry, spilling the soup over the counter, over cooking the Meat etc. But Josh would always step in and correct her calmly.
Josh did this because he understood what it was to be a new chef, and he also understood their higher levels of anxiety and pressure. According to him, every Head was once a Rookie. As months passed by, Pratiksha excelled in her career due to her ability to learn from her mistakes and the encouragement from Josh.
Not everyone may have a good Head as Josh, but it is important to know that everyone makes mistakes and we may also fail. But the crucial things that come with mistakes are Lessons. Keep learning from your mistakes and keep achieving in your career and also in your life!
