it depends on the restaurant. The smaller, the restaurant the more work you’re expected to take on no matter what your position is. Larger upscale restaurants I wouldn’t think that’s part of your job, but it might just vary.

The Chef de Cuisine responsibilities are to oversee and be involved in the day-to-day ‘hands-on’ operations of a kitchen ensuring the Executive Chef’s vision comes to life. Being ‘hands-on’ does require helping and teaching wherever necessary when the time calls for it. Prepping and cooking is part of it but oversight of the kitchen operations is the main duty.
