One of the main focuses of being a chef is getting the meal out on time, so the sailors could eat, and get back to work on time. So we would write the products that is going on the line, each product will be assigned to a different person. And we made sure before we could take a break or go eat, that every space all the equipment is cleaned and ready for inspection at any time.
