More Tips On Kitchens

Over a period of a couple of weeks, call each member of your kitchen team, one at a time, into your office, or other space away from the kitchen, for a private interview. Your purpose is to seek information about the attitude and atmosphere in the kitchen. Ask questions like:

·   What is your job in the kitchen?

·   Have you received enough training for your job?

·   Are you happy with your job?

·   What do you think of our food?

·   Who do you most like to work with in the kitchen?

·   Who is the hardest worker in the kitchen—other than yourself?

·   Who isn’t carrying their load in the kitchen?

·   If you could press a magic button, what equipment would you want to have in the kitchen that would help you do a better job?

If these interviews are done properly, you will soon learn whom, if anyone, should be trained better, or removed from your kitchen staff. You will learn about what the staff feels about their work and your company. Check with your human resources department to insure that the questions you are going to ask are within legal limits in your locale.
