Kitchen Training and Kitchen Management Course Video Tutorial Library
Welcome to Chefs Resources’ exclusive kitchen training video library geared towards providing Chefs with a way to give consistent training about basic kitchen philosophies to all your cooks, sous chefs, kitchen managers, and lead line cooks. We also offer a Kitchen Management Course Online that will help Chefs and aspiring Chefs learn the paperwork part of the business.
We know that time is money and there are only so many hours in a day. That’s why we created this kitchen training video library for Chefs, with the goal of making it easier for you to train your staff without having to be present. You can now focus on other tasks while your crew learns basic kitchen philosophies & practices from our videos.
Use our kitchen training videos as part of your regular training course for every new crew member, or as a refresher for long-time staff. And since they are business-oriented tutorials they may be something that your company will pay for the $25 monthly subscription fee, rather than coming out of your own pocket.
If you choose to have a group of your staff watch any of the videos in our kitchen training course, then consider having you or your sous chef pause the video on key points to have further discussion and answer questions about whatever principle is being presented. This will engage your crew in the presentation and get them thinking about it. There are suggested discussion topics on most of our kitchen training videos and a PDF downloadable version of the presentation where applicable.
I highly recommend banning your kitchen staff from using their phones during the video tutorials! They are getting paid for training, not playing on their phones during a training video!
We hope that you find this online kitchen training program useful for your operation. Simply click on the green “Watch Video” button for the training video you want your team to watch. It will open a separate page with that exclusive content on it. I recommend opening the video in its own full-screen window and starting it when your team is ready.
If you want a specific topic covered in a future video, leave your suggestions in the comment section below.
