Very informative. Just as most people commented. Want to add one additional job that must be known and followed by all employees. Health codes to follow by city, county, and state laws.

I have always had the greatest respect for chefs and had always wanted to be one myself. And as much as I love to cook and bake, for some reason I always thought a sous-chef was mainly responsible for prepping food. Wow, I can’t believe I was so clueless! Thanks for educating me.

it's actually the Head chef, which is below an executive chef, then a sous at either a senior or junior level.

I always thought the sous-chef was a lower employee who cuts up the food and does all the prep work.
