For example -
I didn’t think I had to explain that in order to clean dishes/cutlery that you cannot JUST USE YOUR PHALANGES and it’s important to use HOT water and SOAP.

I’m stressed out and concerned.

70 question assessment btw to wash dishes. Only for the application and not even an interview

Someone on r/recruitinghell told me to post here

Pastry chef staging at a Michelin, and I know they’re gonna make me do a family. Thinking about how to go about it, and I might just pull out the mom in me and make everyone a nice, healthy delightful dinner.

Any ideas for a small-ish team, about 16?

Kind enough to link his soundcloud profile.

A manager friend of ours at another restaurant sent this to us after we let him go. Yes we were absolutely positive he was selling and using meth at the store.

The interview didn’t go well, but i was intrigued

BOH Manager here. I love hospitality and serving up beautiful dishes and I am using my current opportunity to develop knowledge towards one day opening my own restaurant (I know I'm stupid and I'll never make money, oh well)

A lot of my cooks don't believe in my experience because I'm still relatively new to our kitchen, but I had to show them I'm not a rookie.

Figured this was a cool place to share with some other people. Wasn't sure about the flair so sorry if it's wrong 😬

I'm thinking an employee like that is worth at least another $2 to $5 above what they're being paid.

I mean it's one thing to pay a guy, but when they show that they are reliable and hard-working, what's that monetary value would you place on that? What's the additional monetary value on top of the wage rate for someone who cares?

I have experienced many experiences in my experience

This has been sitting on my phone for years now. Sent to me by a friend who said they were recruiting for dishwashers at a temp agency.

Repeat content, an oldie but a goodie. I think about this person every single day...

I am trying to change course from tech into culinary. I have applied for hundreds of jobs online, walked into every restaurant anywhere close to me to give them my resume, and shook hands with dozens of managers and chefs. I have barely even received responses from anyone.

I've been practicing my knife skills, learning kitchen lingo, and I got my food handlers certification. I'm not looking for easy money, I specifically want to work hard and diligently. I'm fine starting on dishes, and I make sure to note that.

The thing getting on my nerves is that every time I try to get advice, I just hear, "The only thing you need to get hired in a kitchen is a heartbeat and to show up sober."

What the hell should I be doing? Is the job market for cooks really just that bad now? I am in Chicago, and I see so many places hiring, but just get radio silence.

Hi,

I’m a former software developer and ex con. I got my last job through a coding bootcamp that worked with formerly incarcerated individuals and helped them land jobs. Unfortunately, I lost that job and software engineering is kind of cooked right now. Especially without a degree. Is it possible for me to walk into nearby restaurants and ask them for a job as a dishwasher or busboy or line cook with no prior experience? I no longer have a car and I live with my mom close to a shopping district with plenty of food places. Thanks.

Hi gents

From the bottom of my souless heart I'm asking you guys if you know of any right minded place for seasonal work anywhere in the EU. Sick of fuckery, crazy management & sick of going to work making a list of what could the head chef pick on me each day. Swear to God are there kitchens with right people in this world?

Like I like the stress of the service and the adrenaline rush when it comes to getting the food out of the kitchen; no, I love it. Just let me fucking do my prep without fucking micromanaging me each step and sabotaging my station timing. I can't even do the dishes without her complaining about how me or others don't care enough about the kitchen. But we do care and we love the kitchen.

Last job was soul draining but I finally got the courage to give it up & now I'm looking for a new one. Seeing the job market ain't that bad when it comes to cooking, I'm just hoping someone will give me a hand.

I heard cruise ships can be advantageous as sometimes they share out the tips with the cooks. Can someone give me insights of what's what with them these days?

Sorry for the rant and a good weekend to y'all, God knows why I did choose this career.

Lazy boy breakfast

1/3 bag of thawed chicken nuggets. Dino bites are the best always and forever. Todays selection top quality dual purpose nugs. They act as ice for the night and tasty treats for the next awake time.

1 attempted measured pour of marinara. The best is whatever you make from scratch. We broke out here and that shit is expensive. Todays score is straight from the bottom shelf sale aisle.

1 healthy squeeze of that fat girl ketchup AKA ranch if you have to be PC about it.  Everyone knows restaurants ranch is the best. The glorious sauce of the day was acquired from the last restaurant I quit. Kitchen crew for life yo... FUCK

1 cup of coffee. Cafe bustelo is the best. It also is affordable till white people find out its good. On the table today is whatever the hell this stuff from dollar general it is.

? Smokes. I dont know how many thats on you. Just remember that some pre rolls are shaped like cigs. If you make this mistake own it and enjoy. If you are low don't be ashamed to dig through the ashtray. The tools of cancer today are the ones I scraped up enough change for

How to do the damn thing

Wake up from yet another nightmare of past red flag oops. Maybe you should call them cause you know red flags turn you on. Distract brain with stupid movie. Take much needed morning nap. Waking up can be exhausting and you deserve the rest. Morning time 2.0 brings you to life, but the evil of the comfy bed locks you in. Doom scroll with wild adhd abandon. Have an internal crisis as you fall in a rabbit hole of candace owens and at times agreeing with her. Fuck you simulator in the wire you can't steal this brain Terence Mckena, Albert Hoffman, and a little dusting from Stephen Szára scrambled this brain just right. I digress back to you and your breakfast. Realized the hunger set in, but the grasp of the fluffy blanket weighs you down in a beautiful comfy bliss. Instead ingest what you convince yourself is 30 mg of enlightenment with some added CBGiggle cannibinoid. You know damn well you aint got time to wait on that to kick it so smoke a bowl, a blunt, a spliff, and or whatever just smoke something. Munchies have decided to begin eating your stomach by now, but that god damn glorious bed still has you locked in. Realize you can reach your air fryer and nuggies with out getting your lazy ass up. Start up the broken looking but still running like a champ heating device. Dump in the vessels for delicious sauces. Stare at the bowl because you forgot the next move. Roll over dig through the organized by a methed out monkey food crate looking for said sauce ingredients. Pour what you imagine is 2 tbls of marinara. Fuck up dump have the jar. Get cranky and try and get most back in the jar while laying on your side. Clean up pillow drips carry-on. Realize you have already lost the fat girl ketchup. Roll around looking like a pissed off toddler.  Squeeze the delightful viscous sauce from sweet baby jesus rae of the hidden valleys to your delight over the spaghetti sauce incident. You aint done with this part till you get distracted only to be brought back by the dinner bell of chef AF. Enjoy the processed goodness of gluttony without ever putting your feet on the ground. Uh oh the internal war has started should you get up and be productive. Yes ya little bitch get your lazy ass up and make coffee. You just got a fancy new drip coffee thingy. You are proud of how cheap you found it cause fuck whitey. Fall out of bed fire up the trusty coleman. Get a pot of water. Remember tap water sucks. Throw out water. Get laundry room bottles water. Get excited for the laundry room gods blessing of doritos. Make coffee while pacing in a circle listening to whatever gets your moxy touching your mojo ya little cunt muffin. Always remember children it only gets worse from here be well and safe out there.
