I’ve been focusing on time management in my role as a sous chef, especially during peak hours. I found that refining my knife skills has cut down my prep time significantly, allowing me to tackle multiple tasks at once. What advanced techniques have you guys implemented that really changed the game for you?
I totally hear you on the knife skills — it’s such a game changer. I’ve found that organizing my workstation in zones really helps too. This way, I can grab what I need without wasting time searching, especially during rush hour.
It sounds like you’re on the right track — aside from knife skills, I’ve also found that practicing mise en place makes a huge difference during rushes. It’s like having a well-prepped stage for a performance; you’re less likely to trip over your lines — what’s your go-to prep technique?
