A Day in YOUR Life as a Prep Cook

Every person that enters our establishment should be greeted and feel like a guest! This is YOU on your first day of work and every work day after that. You walk in with a smile, say hello to passing guests and acknowledge your colleagues, perhaps with a smile, nod or salutation. You already have a feel for how your day is going to unfold based on the flow and noise level in the dining area and you aren’t even in uniform yet! You make your way to the employee change room and transform into your sharp, sophisticated look with your professional uniform, punch in at the time clock and energetically join your teammates in the kitchen.

You may be preparing to join a shift or open the kitchen, either way prepping for great dishes and assisting your teammates is paramount. Regardless of the time of day or length of shift, you are ready to meet every guest with exceptional service and care!

As the day begins, you check in with your supervisor or the prep board to prioritize your duties for the day. You also check in with your colleagues to see how you will best be able to set them up for success throughout your shift. You organize the workstation first and this saves you from disarray…a prepped kitchen is an efficient one! Follow the prep list and tick it off as you complete each item. You review all specifications before you start your work. Following the specifications for prep is what makes the difference for your team to deliver the consistent quality we strive for! You, will be constantly on the move for peeling, chopping, mixing, sautéing, and preparing sauces. Time is so crucial to every aspect of your work. Also, you must maintain cleanliness and handle food properly according to food sanitation regulations. You know where all items are stored and check each item to ensure it is stored on the correct shelves and dated clearly for the storage logs. You may even be helping to receive and store an order that arrived today. You need to stay focused and energized throughout the day. Even though you clean the station as you go, it gets messy when things get busy; so, you tidy up the station, counter, and storage area at every opportunity. Your shift in the kitchen goes by in a flash. Your standards are high, and you take pride in your job in the kitchen. You are a team player and always look for opportunities to assist your teammates.
