Catering companies are not unlike any other major restaurant or hotel operation that needs clear and defined roles for their culinary department. Over the past 9 years at each of their respective companies, Jason and Jay have molded their culinary teams to the high functioning teams they are today. Come listen to how they recruit and onboard, put their chefs through a day 1-90 and then invest in them as people to get them to a new level of investment and focus. It not always about getting the most hands in the kitchen, it's about getting the right hands in the right places.
