What’s it like to be a Chef?
Chefs plan and organise the preparation and cooking of food in a number of
settings.
Chefs may be required to work shifts, including weekends and public holidays,
sometimes on a 24-hour rotating roster. The work may be stressful, especially
at peak hours of the day.
The range of duties carried out by chefs will vary depending on where they
work. In larger establishments, the chef de cuisine or head chef generally
does more supervising than cooking. Senior chefs have to attend staff
meetings, where they discuss problems related to their areas, and receive or
issue instructions to other managerial staff. In small restaurants, the head
chef may prepare food, assisted by other cooks or apprentices. As well as
expert cooking knowledge, chefs involved in supervision need a general
knowledge of the skills and activities of all their workers. Chefs who have
management responsibilities may also perform duties such as complaints
resolution and maintenance of financial records.
