Does anyone else feel like “chef-driven” menus are just code for “we’re going to change everything every week and never train you properly”? I’ve worked in a few places like this now, and it’s always the same story: new dish drops Friday, no tasting, no walkthrough, and we’re left scrambling. I love creativity, but I’m tired of being set up to fail in the name of innovation. Last weekend we ran out of a new special by 7pm because no one told prep. How do you balance flexibility with consistency in places like this?

Chef-driven menus are just ego trips. They make chaos look like innovation. I’d rather have a solid, boring menu than fake creativity.

Yeah… the egos of chefs are pretty big. Unfortunately chefs don’t know how to run a business so there has to be a strong manager who can counter that ego and make the business run smoothly. If you’re a line cook, I’d just try not to get stressed about it - not your problem if the ingredients run out!

If our mental health is not good at the moment, how do we convey it to the team? Most of the folks in my team take such things lightly and I feel weird to let them know about it. So I just have to lie and put a sick leave.
Also, even before friday ends, I start to stress about monday… and I think that is wrong. We should look forward to work and not stress about it but sadly the people around me here make me want to leave the office.
Please tell me what to dooo?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
