Things in restaurants, catering and hospitality that we need to leave in the past. A thread....

SPLIT. FUCKING. SHIFTS! Split shifts need to be abolished immediately. Sending staff on a break to save pennies is bullshit, and staff still have to work early mornings and late nights SMH https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😤" title="Triumphierendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Triumphierendes Gesicht">

Off the back of split shifts... Shifts over 12 hours are also unnecessary (for salaried staff). Surely there’s more sensible shift patterns if we had enough staff.

Contracts for senior chefs that state a 45 hour working week, when your wage budget could never allow you to be in any less than 80

KPs need to be paid more. It may not be super skilled work, but they graft tirelessly, often with substandard equipment.

Treating commis and apprentices like a dogs body. We’re in 2020! Show them some love, kitchens are boisterous, scary places to be. None of this ‘break them down and build them as a better person` BS. It’s a kitchen brigade, not the military.
