The Chef's Commandments: Maximize Your Kitchen's Profitability, Building and Maintaining a Successful, Profit-Driven Restaurant

A chef wears many hats. As the head chef, you will be asked to do all the regular tasks that a manager would do, including training and firing employees, conducting performance appraisals, etc. But your job is greater than that of a regular manager. You have the power to make or break a restaurant. You are the leader in the kitchen--its chef. It's always a balancing act. A bit of planning and some common sense techniques can go a long way to saving you thousands of dollars every year.
