• Quality Control: Ensure only the freshest ingredients are used by conducting regular sensory evaluations.
• Monitor Production Flow: Oversee food preparation and maintain adherence to cost and quality control standards.
• Health Compliance: Ensure proper food storage, labeling, and adherence to health regulations.
• Daily Operations: Manage kitchen setup, equipment maintenance, and cleanliness for efficient service.
