Cooking is a combination of science and art. You'll need to make use of your cooking knowledge and skills to make dishes that are unique or else your restaurant will have a hard time standing apart from the competition. Additionally, creativity is needed for problem-solving in the kitchen
A dish can succeed or fail based on your attention to detail. For example, if a steak is cooked for just a tiny bit too long it will be ruined. The ability to pay attention to detail even during the busiest moments of the day is essential to running a successful kitchen.
Not only do you have multiple responsibilities to handle over the course of a day, but you'll have kitchen staff coming to you with questions constantly. Additionally, you may need to address different dishes at the same time. All of this requires the ability to multi-task effectively without sacrificing quality in the kitchen.
As a chef, you have many responsibilities around the kitchen, including managing your kitchen staff and their schedules, managing the inventory of your kitchen and making sure that you have all the necessary ingredients, and managing the restaurant's budget for food.
