There is no doubt that Cold Stone Creamery’s team is going to be one of the top priorities for the company since it’s the main reason why this company is so successful. In the video the term “team” is defined as a group of workers with a shared mission, vision, and collective responsibilities. A team shares a role-trade leadership role. Team members are accountable to one another. They measure their effectiveness by accessing the output of their collective labours. In Cold Stone Creamery’s team, there are customers, crews, franchisees, area developers, members of Creamery, and marketing. No matter what job he or she does, each team member plays a role in the team’s success.

There are many requirements for being a chef some of their duties are to check the freshness of food, supervise the other employees and developing new recipes. The head chef is responsible for making sure every aspect of the kitchen is being ran smoothly, and functioning correctly.

Last year they recovered 743,885 pounds of food from grocery stores

Not to keep bringing McDonalds up in every example I give, but McDonalds has taught me a lot about working in teams. On a shift there will be a group of people working in the kitchen called the Production team. The people in the production team each has a different role to play. One person will be tasked with cooking all the products. Two people will be on one side of the prep table. There will be a manager that is in charge of the area. Each person has their strengths which usually determines which area they will be placed in. For instance in the service area there are usually 2 or 3 ladies that are designated order takers because they are fast and efficient. Other people are stronger on different

“Collaboration, teamwork, and communication”, make for a better work environment (Oberoi, 2013, para. 10). “The Whole Foods culture is premised on decentralized teamwork” which is supported by collaboration and furthered by communication (Fishman, 1996, para. 7). However, collaboration, teamwork and communication do not work in the absence of trust. Accordingly, Whole Foods looks to create an environment in which employees trust one another and the organization as a whole. Whole Foods created their culture to oppose the usual bureaucratic style which is mistrusted by many. Instead, Whole Foods relies on teamwork to support their success. In large companies, like Whole Foods it is easier for employees to get lost in the shuffle. The company believes the formation of smaller teams to be more intimate and more likely to result in a “familial” feeling, trust is easier to accomplish, and communication flows freely (Mackey, 2009, para. 12).

The freezer for consumers on tray line was appropriate. Every item was dated and labels were attached. Noted that this freezer also had some ice crystals formed mainly at the doors for the freezer. Recommending defrosting. Steam table was clean, but noted some debris under the top metal shelf (food splashes from steam wells). Tray line reach in the fridge is appropriate with dating of products. Most items were for lunch service today or for dinner service. Noted some dirt behind the fridge. There were also 3 loaves of bread that did not have use by stickers attached (bread found in store room 137 was appropriate). One of the drawers closest to the tray line reach-in fridge

The chefs, cooks and head chefs to do the job they do need excellent cookery skills and an awareness of the food hygiene and nutrition issues and lastly a management and organisational skills.

They expect me to be patient, clear with orders, not demanding, and aware of what is going on. I must know what food they just told me was done and where to take it, but first I need to pay attention to hear when my name is called. There is usually more tension between the kitchen and waiters than there is with any other workers. The roles are so different. The kitchen staff usually looks at servers as just wanting to get a good tip, and that we do not care the extremities the kitchen has to go to for us. It is important that servers respect the kitchen staff; they are in charge of the food we will be serving. “Servers, as mediators, need their food when their customers demand it: sometimes this is before the food is ready; at other times after. If servers demand food too early, cooks are stressed; but if they don’t pick up the food on time, the food is poor and the cook seems incompetent.” (Fine 105). This is the most true on Friday and Saturday nights. Everything seems to be more chaotic on these nights, since most people decide to go out. This is good because it brings in more business for the restaurant, but then there are always more unhappy customers on these nights as well. Overall, positive interaction with the kitchen staff can make amazing things happen.
