A Day in YOUR Life as a Breakfast Cook

Every person that enters our restaurant 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, 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 level of excitement and noise in the lobby 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 preparing 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 and colleague with exceptional service and care!

As the day begins, you check in with your supervisor to prioritize your duties for the day. A bus tour will be coming in for breakfast! You efficiently plan your day and prep all ingredients for Express Breakfast and a la carte service. 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 will be constantly on the move for peeling, chopping, mixing. Time is crucial to every aspect of your work. You are a great at multi-tasking! You may be chopping fresh fruit, frying bacon on your grill, baking muffins, checking the oven temperature and assisting your team mates simultaneously. Also, you must maintain cleanliness and handle food properly according to food sanitation regulations. Inspect the food storage and ensure that each item is stored in the correct shelves with the earliest expiration date in front. Once the restaurant opens, orders keep pouring in. You focus on your orders and keep your workstation organized as this minimizes chances of miscommunication. Orders pile up quickly so this job requires you to memorize a massive amount of information but, with your experience, you can handle this challenge without any problem. You server your guests at the Express Breakfast with a smile and a cheerful “Good Morning”. You need to stay focused and energized throughout the day. Even though you clean the station as you go as the breakfast kitchen is wide open to your guests, 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 and the quality and presentation of all food in the kitchen and the restaurant. You are a team player and always look for opportunities to assist your team mates.

By the time you leave, you are more than satisfied that your guests are all taken care of and having a great time in our restaurant.
