I have been up til 4am doing dishes on occasions. If I have absolutely nothing to do (which I will admit, is a very rare occasion) I will either give the dishwasher a hand, or pull him to the side to teach him something new.
One of our washers is 19, hardworking (I trained him on a day that had two seperate 200 ppl banquets, we were up til 4:30 am scrubbing), and very eager to learn. It is my goal to be able to have him on the line with me someday.
Dishes is just one of those things that comes with the job. A chef that is not willing to do dishes is pretty useless imho. |
