And today I completed my internship at Speciality Restaurants Pvt. Ltd!!✨✨
It was a pleasurable time with my boss and her team where I learnt a lot of new things.
A few takeaways from this 3 months food supply based internship are :-
•Passion Fuels Success: Witnessing firsthand the dedication and drive of individuals in the food industry was an eye-opener. From chefs meticulously crafting dishes to managers navigating supply chain challenges, the passion for food permeated every aspect. This instilled in me the vital role of genuine enthusiasm in achieving success within this competitive field.
•Adaptability is Key: The food industry is dynamic, facing fluctuations in trends, ingredients, and customer preferences. Observing how businesses adapted to these changes, from menu innovation to embracing online ordering, highlighted the importance of flexibility and responsiveness. This experience emphasized the need for lifelong learning and being open to new ideas to thrive in this ever-evolving landscape.
•Customer Centricity Matters: Whether interacting with customers directly or observing behind-the-scenes efforts, understanding customer needs and exceeding expectations was paramount. Businesses prioritized creating positive dining experiences, offering personalized recommendations, and addressing feedback actively. This takeaway resonated deeply, emphasizing the importance of customer focus in any business, especially within the competitive food industry.
•Teamwork is Essential: Collaborating with chefs, servers, managers, and even suppliers provided valuable insight into the interconnectedness of the food business. Everyone played a crucial role, and witnessing effective teamwork firsthand emphasized the importance of communication, collaboration, and mutual respect within any successful organization.
