Restaurants · Onboarding & Training · Intermediate
Train on one station at a time. The cook must demonstrate competency during actual service, not just in practice. Sign off only when they can hold the station solo during a full service without help.
A training completion checklist for head chefs and kitchen managers onboarding new line cooks onto a specific station. Covers station setup and breakdown, mise en place preparation, recipe execution and cooking techniques, plating standards per restaurant specification, food safety and temperature control, ticket management, communication protocols, and the ability to maintain quality and speed under service pressure.
A line cook who isn't properly trained for their station slows the entire kitchen — tickets back up, food quality drops, and the rest of the team compensates for their gaps. Station-specific training ensures each cook can hold their position independently before the first busy Friday night exposes any weaknesses.
