Ever felt like a line cook is just a few orders away from a full-on meltdown? Last Saturday, we had a ticket come in with 12 different entrées all at once. The kitchen buzz turned into a chaos symphony! It’s wild how we pull it together, but nothing beats that high-five moment with my teammates when we nail it. How do you all manage that pressure cooker environment?
I’ve found that keeping a solid pre-service meeting helps us sync up before the rush hits — it’s all about being on the same page to tackle those crazy orders. Ever tried a quick team huddle before service?
, right? Those moments can be insane! I use a quick signal system with my team when orders come in crazy fast.
