snack shack experience

 

                During my snack shack experiences throughout the past month or so I learned how to communicate in the kitchen to get orders out quickly. I realized how important it is to be clear and concise. I learned that when talking in the kitchen you have to be direct and loud so the people on the grill know what to make. If you do not speak direct and loud it will cause confusion which will slow down the process of getting food out or cause them to make the incorrect order. Along with being direct and loud you have to listen, otherwise you’ll miss something to make.  I found that during the snack shack experience the first few games were a little hectic because we were new to working in the snack shack. We didn’t know how to correctly communicate with one another. Once the games went on we started to get the hang of things, and orders started coming out faster.

                I found the snack shack experience fun but difficult because it was like actually working in a kitchen. So much of what happens depends on the amount of customers; however even on a slow day organization Is crucial. It was fun because you got to work with your friends while cooking food and overall it’s a positive atmosphere. Improvements that I would make during my next snack shack experience would be to work faster and pay more attention with whom and what is around you.  Since last time, there were problems of people tripping over each other; if this isn’t fixed then productivity in the kitchen will be weakened. It can also be dangerous considering that there is a grill, a deep fryer and other hot appliances. In a disorganized kitchen accidents often happen but here the pace is a little different and everyone has to be constantly aware of it.
