Like all successful businesses, a well constructed team of members must have a plan on how it should operate. Running a business takes time, dedication, effort, and commitment. Each member takes on the challenge of completing different tasks, but in the end, they all come together as a whole to run the business. Just like B&C Kitchen, each member takes on a fundamental role behind the scenes to ensure the success and liveliness of the restaurant. In any restaurant setting, the magic begins in the kitchen. The kitchen is home to all the action packed cooking, frying, and the slicing and chopping of ingredients. The leader, the commander in chief, and the boss, my father Jeffrey Ho performs the role of the executive head chef. Acting as the …show more content…
Due to the inviting aroma that surrounds the entirety of the restaurant, B&C Kitchen has become a place where friends become family. The manager and head waitress who created this promised quality, my mother Katie Ho’s position plays a significant part in the business. With her most enticing presence, her prime responsibilities consist of serving and tending to customers’ needs while still overseeing the entire front of the restaurant. As much as she already does, she also manages to complete all the bookkeeping chores. Considering all of the numerous tasks my mother has to juggle on a daily basis, her role of taking charge as manager and the head waitress is clearly irreplaceable. Even though my parents and aunt have already constructed a full and equipped team, I also happen to work alongside with them from time to time. As a member of the team, I commonly work in the front as a waitress and in the kitchen with the responsibility of clean up. Given that I’m able to assist both the customers and the team behind the scene that runs it all, makes my position different from the others. My role in the restaurant may not seem as glamorous, but I’d like to think I provide as much as the rest of my family does. In essence, my responsibility inhabits delivering extra help when

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.

No matter what job he or she does, each team member plays a role in the team’s success.
As I mentioned before his mother was a waitress. Although a waitress doesn’t sound like the most pleasing job, she still gained a lot of knowledge. Rose notes “The restaurant became the place where she studied human behavior, puzzling over the problems of her regular customers and refining her ability to deal with people in a difficult world.” In which she learned and adapted to things like human conduct and problem solving. His mother’s job required both the mind and the body, where she had to understand the different ways the restaurant business worked and then apply it. For example, being able to carry plates with one arm and cups in the other, while memorizing who ordered what and when they ordered it. Of course Rose shares “...there were the customers who entered the restaurant with all sorts of needs, from physiological ones, including the emotions that accompany hunger, to a sometimes complicated desire for human contact.” This provokes sympathy. As a customer myself, there has been times where I was impatient or I would get fustrated with my food service. Now, understanding what waitresses go through gives a perspective on what they deal with. In which, Rose sparks his readers with a feeling of understanding for what blue-collar workers go through and
In restaurants, she is not looking to cast aspersions at members of staff and/or look for mistakes, instead, she seeks for opportunities to compliment. This shows junior staff that she has an expectation of perfection not a failure from them. Further, when she shares problems with her juniors and seek their opinion, she does not browbeat them with her superior knowledge but seeks to show them that their opinion
Cutthroat Kitchen, which aired on Food Network on August 11, 2013, has many examples of obedience to authority and fear.

Thomas Keller is the one and only American chef to receive more than one three-star rating from the Michelin Guide. Keller has numerous awards and recognitions for his talent within the food world. He is not only an amazing chef, but he is a revolutionary one. Keller says his cooking style is an “evolutionary process” in that it is always growing and changing much like the world. Thomas Keller is a very, very successful chef given that he didn’t attend any special, high-priced culinary schools to learn what he knows or get to where he is now compared to the countless number of people that do go to culinary school and don’t get much farther. Keller has opened multiple restaurants that have been and remain
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
Kitchen Confidential an interesting book. Bourdain doesn’t talk about the head chef, sous chef, or any of the glory of the restaurant world, instead he focuses on behind-the-scenes in the kitchen. He gives us a brief intro and makes it clear to the reader that Kitchen Confidential was not inspired by resentment or disgust with the restaurant industry. Heck, he is still there because of his love for the kitchen. Rather, his goal was to paint an accurate and brutally honest life of a restaurant chef. Bourdain is brutally honest about the often degenerate lifestyles of professional cooks when it was a far more harsh working-class industry than it is today in the 1980s and 90s.

We’re not just talking one option, American Kitchen features a handful of variations on a theme, like cajun mac, pesto mac, truffle mac and more.
On our most recent our waitress was Chelsea. She told us about the seasonal specials which included pumpkin pancakes that sound almost decadent. Chelsea made sure to keep up with our thirst and even apologized for a delay in our food coming out of the kitchen. The kitchen brigade is in the fine tuning process to bring out the well-oiled machine a professional kitchen should operate at. They also know how to help keep a child occupied with free wifi and wikki sticks in their kid’s menus.

Can you relate to this? It starts with the best intentions. You will cook. You can even search the web and pick out recipes or make a list. But then something comes up. Get distracted. You stay at work late or go out with your friends. Upon arriving home is eight and a half and have nothing in the kitchen to cook and no desire to go out and buy food. The secret of the kitchen has a fridge and a cupboard. If it is eight o 'clock in the evening and into the kitchen to find an empty fridge, chances are pretty low that you will cook a meal. Entropy Overand dinner ends a series of appetizers, improvised from the last of the cookies is in the closet and the last part of humus in the refrigerator. To keep your kitchen, you must have a constant plan weekly food shopping. Is not it funny how we plan our week 's work, our vacations, our family obligations, but somehow, they completely avoid planning in the time to shop and cook? Here are the basics for making a food purchase plan that makes it accessible even to cook during the week. 1. Create a shopping list by hand or machine. Make a list of all the staples you would like to have in your kitchen. Also add the ingredients of their favorite recipes. You can use this list every week and keep adding to it as you learn about new foods and recipes. 2. Keep the list handy and up to date. Post the list on the refrigerator. Check all that just as the week progresses. That way do not forget the vital ingredients. 3. Plan. Choose the
