POV: You've been in the kitchen for years. You train everyone. You know every station. You fix everyone's mistakes. You can run service when things get crazy. You basically know the menu better than anyone. Chef: “Can you take care of this too?” Paycheck: same as before. 💀 Experience should mean more than getting trusted with more work. Eventually, good cooks start asking: “Why am I still getting paid like I'm new?” #chefs #linecooks #backofhouse #linecooklife #kitchenlife
