Meagan’s Answer

The restaurant industry is an exciting, fast-moving world! I spent over a decade in hotel catering and observed these traits in our top chefs:

- Makes smart, speedy decisions
- Handles multiple tasks at once
- Knows the strengths of their team and assigns them to the right roles (grill, prep, plate, etc.)
- Shows empathy
- Demonstrates patience (very important)
- Solves problems effectively
- Works efficiently
- Has deep knowledge about the food being served (food sources, proper serving techniques)

Of course, excellent cooking skills are a must! To succeed, explore various food preparation styles and keep learning.

Ashley’s Answer

You will need to delegate responsibilities and quickly assess if those objectives are being met. There is a great deal of business involved. If the protein is consistently being plated raw, then you must communicate directly and switch the roles of your team to get the job done. Your reputation is constantly on the line. So, you will need to know how to execute each portion yourself and assign those roles to the best person. The only constant is change.

Johnny’s Answer

Hello, you will never work harder

Be ready to live the trade each and every day.

Be devoted, and all in to your trade

Like an athlete, always seem to be the best.

Always be humble, always be secure with who you are, always help others as this helps you build respect.

Employees will never ever respect a title. always be secure with who you are, always help others as this helps you build respect.

Employees will never ever respect a title. you earn respect by doing and following up on things you say you will do.

As you grow and you start to see that things are not going the way you want them to be look at yourself in the mirror. Their lies the problem.

Realize that without employees who believe and support you you will never be successful.

Realize that without employees who believe and support you you will never be successful.

You will find 100% of the time if you, or anyone around, you has an ego, or is never wrong, that is called an insecurity.

I will say that the question you posed is not only very intelligent. It speaks very highly on who you are.

If you like read two books

1. The one minute manager
2. Daring Greatly

You will be successful.
