Course details
The executive chef is the leader of a professional kitchen. Also known as a head chef or chef de cuisine, this person is in charge of all back of house activities, from menu planning and ordering, to rostering and mentoring of kitchen staff.
As an executive chef, cooking will be the easiest job you do. While your culinary skills allowed you to take your career to a leadership position, your managerial and business skills will now get a chance to really shine through. Beyond preparing meals that your customers love, you will have to exercise big-picture thinking to ensure the restaurant remains profitable and your team is continuously developing.
It all comes down to having the right people, the right products, and the right processes in place. If you can bring these together, quality service is guaranteed!
