How to be a good cook in a restaurant

How to Restaurant

Synopsis

My compassion for workers and business owners compelled me to continue writing this manual script, which has been ten years in the making. A few years ago, I was sent on a mission to find the right location for a concept my employers and I created. During my hunt, I was able to survey hundreds of restaurants and study human behavior up and down the east coast of the united states, from Virginia to Florida. My experience during my endeavor was jaw-dropping. I found that most restaurants from state to state are all the same. Attitudes in the workplace are similar yet different. For example; humans’ breath the same air and bleed red however, their appearance is different, and their accents vary. While sitting down having a glass of wine or consuming meals during my travels I paid very close attention to the style of restaurant, the servers, bartenders, cooks, managers, clientele and whatever else I can set my eyes on. And I came to one conclusion, water is water and burgers are burgers poured and made differently but the same. The same goes for employees and business owners’ attitudes and in my experience is all the same and the majority of the time, poor.

How to Restaurant started as an employee handbook, it has been updated continuously since I first wrote it back in 2009. I then decided to experiment with the handbook in a company I was helping manage in 2010. The handbooks origin stem from the fact that a business should not operate without a manual. Many businesses I worked for as an employee/manager was a mess because I felt there was no structure or How-to guide to getting the job done the correct way. I grew up a songwriter, and short story author for the majority of my life, always having a passion for telling a story my way disregarding the “proper” way to tell it. Which brought me to How to Restaurant, a tutorial of how to do it in my perspective.
