As a Head Chef, you are the most experienced and efficient worker in the kitchen under the Manager.

They have mastered--and can operate--all stations of a kitchen, and has the ability to lead other cooks and kitchen staff, check timing on tickets, and manage quality control.

The Head Chef works with the Manager in managing inventory, prepares orders and places orders when needed, and can easily lead shifts in the absence of Manager.
