Prep cooks touch every part of your menu and kitchen, whether they’re making black bean burger patties; chopping lettuce; making soups or sauces. Prep cooks prepare your kitchen for the shift to come. Prep is one of the most important parts of cooking. If it’s not done right, nothing can fix it, creating food waste.
