In my previous role, we experienced a sudden rush of customers during lunchtime, which led to a chaotic kitchen. I remained calm and prioritized tasks, ensuring that orders were completed efficiently. I communicated clearly with my team to delegate tasks and managed to keep the workflow smooth, ultimately satisfying all customers on time. This experience taught me the importance of staying composed and effective communication in high-pressure situations.

I strictly follow all food safety protocols, including regular handwashing, proper storage of ingredients, and maintaining a clean workspace. I also ensure that all equipment is sanitized regularly and that food is stored at the correct temperatures. By adhering to these practices, I help prevent cross-contamination and ensure that the food prepared is safe for consumption.

I prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance, ensuring that high-priority orders are completed first. I also create a checklist to track progress and avoid missing any steps. Additionally, I keep my workspace tidy to minimize distractions and improve efficiency. Effective communication with my team also helps in coordinating tasks smoothly.

I view feedback as an opportunity for growth and improvement. When receiving feedback, I listen attentively, ask clarifying questions if needed, and take notes. I then reflect on the feedback and identify areas where I can improve. I appreciate constructive criticism and use it to enhance my performance and contribute positively to the team.

In my previous kitchen roles, I worked closely with a diverse team of chefs, cooks, and other support staff. I understand the importance of collaboration and clear communication to ensure smooth operations. I actively participated in team meetings, shared ideas, and supported my colleagues to achieve our common goals. This experience has taught me the value of teamwork and how it contributes to the overall success of the kitchen.
