Question

What is prep?

Answer 1

Kitchen prep is the most essential job in the heart of the house. Without prep you do not have a restaurant. We would all like to think that are food is prepared especially for us but in actuallity the meal you ordered is probably ordered 20 more times that day and the ingredients in that meal are probably in at least three other recipes. So where do all these ingredeints come from..... the prepers. From skewering shrimpso it grills faster to cutting lettuce for salads the preppers touch almost everything that come out of a kitchen.

They get to slice and dice onions....stir stuff so it doesnt burn... then they move up to more complex things as they build their skills and develop their talents.  It is a nice way to decide if you have what it takes to become a chef.

Answer 5

They get everything ready that will be served during the shift, i.e. peel the potatoes, portion sides, chop onions, basically just 'prep' everything so it's easier during the shift to grab the stuff you need.  It's a pretty good job because you get paid kitchen wages, and it's not hectic because it's not while the restaurant is jam packed, and you get to work by your self.
