Executive Chef
I am the lead chef at Peach's Restaurant in Chicago, Illinois.
I come into the restaurant, make the coffee, and then make sure all of the equipment and inventory is set and ready to open that day. I set the tone for the day as my employees all come in to work. I make sure everyone is comfortable and ready to work. Then, the rest of my day revolves around managing the restaurant and putting out any "fires" that may happen throughout the day.
Here's the first step for everyone
No one comes into a restaurant and starts out at the top. Be willing to take a job at the bottom and just stay motivated to show everyone around you what you want. Take every step as it comes. If you stay motivated and work hard, the progression will follow.
