Challenges and Solutions As A Chef

Challenges and Solutions
When working as a chef, there are countless amounts of challenges that you can face, These challenges can be with coworkers, customers, environment and even with the task given. To be more specific, two main challenges that you may face as a chef are unsatisfied customers and improper working conditions and environments.
Firstly, as a chef your job is to cook and have what you make be served to the paying customer. In most cases, you won’t meet the customer, but from what I have heard from chefs with over 10 years of experience, there is always one customer who will try to get away with a free meal with a complaint, or they will just disrespect your service and dump their food, creating a scene and ruining your reputation at the same time. There are multiple solutions to this problem. If a customer has a legitimate reason for their complaint, then you or someone higher than you should be informed and give the upmost attention to said customer. In most cases, the customer will recieve a discount and new food. If a customer is faking their complaint, then as the chef you can go try and deal with the issue, but it is not your job. You should inform your supervisor or manager on the customer, and let them handle it.
Secondly, while having to serve, it’s important that you perform and cook efficiently to the best of your ability. This is a difficult task to carry out all day if your surroundings are not organized and fit to work in. For example, if the kitchen provided for you in a restaraunt is not clean, large enough, and/or unsupplied with the needed ingredients and utensils, then cooking food becomes incredibly difficult and unsanitary. To handle this problem, you should try to keep your workspace clean and organized. If the problem lies deeper, have a discussion with your manager about cleaning the kitchen completely, perhaps even a remodel can be arranged. If your manager is unwilling to listen, it’s probably best to start looking for a new job somewhere else and to report your manager.
