What does a Chef do?
Chefs prepare and present food across restaurants, hotels, contract catering, hospitals and schools. Brigade structure runs Commis → Chef de Partie → Sous Chef → Head Chef, with Pastry as a parallel ladder. Hours are typically split shifts and weekends; pay rises sharply at Sous and Head levels in fine dining.
