Description
Chefs are the professionals within the restaurant industry who are responsible for the preparation, preservation, and presentation of all the foods that make up the gastronomic choice of an establishment. They must consider the quality of the products, the agreed economic profitability and the application of the safety and hygiene standards required in every food establishment.
These professionals may work in the kitchen of all types of establishments with catering services (restaurants, bars, educational centres, hospitals, cruises, etc.) and depending on the number of people who work within their team, they will be in charge of performing more planning and monitoring, or manipulation tasks.
Chefs usually specialise in a specific type of cuisine, such as a style (fusion, avant-garde, traditional), an origin (Asian, Mediterranean, Italian) or other characteristics depending on the type of food or service (pastry, halal, communities, buffets).
