What is it like working as a Kitchen Manager?
October 2016
Stressful and hectic, but fun.
Kitchen Manager:
Pros: Every day is a challenge. From being super busy and in the weeds to be being so slow that you find new projects to tackle.
Cons: My direct supervisor is condescending and overly focused on labor to the extent that it compromises our guests at times.

Kitchen Manager:
Pros: The freedom to make my own decisions. To be as creative as I can be. And having the experience to manage and coordinate everything in my department.
Cons: Over shadowed but sum one from other departments.

Kitchen Manager:
Pros: Some of the co workers I like, that's it.
Cons: I am over worked and underpaid, I control everything in the kitchen. I also run the kitchen line by myself, prep all stations, and do dishes.

Heads Up!
Kitchen Manager:
I would tell you that if you can't handle a high stress situation this would not be the job for you. Keep your composure and set a good example for all employees. Listen to what your employees have to say and they're ideas. Tell them they do a good job when they do and to keep up the good work. If they do something wrong let them know in a professional level.
