In the health care facility, I am accustomed to cooking foods in large quantities; most meals are consistent for all the residents
However, as a cook I pay special attention to menus and keep various batches of food separate from other dishes that include special diets with varying instructions
Because of some people with allergies and food sensitivities, diseases and those recovering from surgical procedures are often put on special diets that require exact ingredients.
Manage a daily kitchen operation with 8+ staff members
Oversee food preparation and production, ensuring food safety procedures are always 100%
Interviewed, hired, trained, and directed staff members
Placed orders to restock items before supplies ran out.
Checked freezer and refrigerator prior to each shift to verify correct temperatures.
Oversaw grill, stove, and oven, and cleaned equipment after every shift.
Trained kitchen staff to perform various preparation tasks under pressure.
Reduced food waste with strategic menu planning and inventory control techniques.
