An Infographic about the Family Tree of the Kitchen
Posted: April 21, 2015 at 9:27 am
Successful commercial kitchens are hives of activity with everyone knowing what to do and when to do it. They’re well-oiled machines powered by a strong team spirit, with each member confident that they can rely on a colleague’s expertise at any moment. They’re places full of heat, challenges and an over-riding passion to create great food, and they can only function efficiently when each person understands everyone else’s role.
Many of these roles are determined through experience, skill, knowledge and stages of ability in a career. With advancement comes responsibility and those who have climbed the ladder to the heady heights of head or executive chef are seen as the superhero and mentor of the kitchen; the person everyone looks to for guidance and advice.
Whether the chef is starting out their career preparing vegetables, creating starters or handling the responsibility of the fish station, they are equally as vital as the chef in charge. A missing crew member means that their tasks need to be immediately reassigned for the kitchen to work. Everyone is a vital cog, wherever they sit in this infographic showing the family tree of the kitchen.
