MANAGER’S INITIALS |
C. Final Project Report
I. Methods to encourage members to develop innovative approaches to work
Innovative people aren’t like to be practicing their skill in an environment that does not adequately encourage
innovation. Good thing that are key main points to develop this ability. If the following will become a habit, there will
be a balance of integrating innovation and application in kitchen operations.
1. Build trust.
It’s clear that from the feedback, lower positions do have lower rate from management, it could have been because
of fear and lack of trust for the assigned tasks by Head to Kitchen hand. By treating people fairly and
acknowledging their perspectives and preferences, people will have more loyalty toward and care about innovation
of organization. They also share willingly in imparting to commitment of project’s core mission. It’s clear that from
the feedback, lower positions do have lower rate from management, it could have been because of fear and lack of
trust for the assigned tasks by Head to Kitchen hand and vice versa.
2. Encourage collaboration.
It’s important that from the early stages of preparation. Based on the feedback a lot of the members were not
properly engaging themselves with the others which caused delays on the preparation of some dishes like the
presentation of the Salmon. Also, cleaning was not done well. In the kitchen members must feel open in
cooperating with how kitchen operation shall be easier than expected. Good people working together can become
greater than the sum of the parts. That is why I will be conducting team meetings, team activities that will boost their
trust on each other.
3. Keep atmosphere with joy.
While it’s important to stay focus at work, it’s just as significant to carry loads of stressful work with the right sense
of happiness. Fatigue blots out creativity and having good environment can counteract this exhaustion. The
significance of this item will be reflected once the teams serve for the people invited if they feel that they are being
served well and appropriately.
II. Methods to encourage members to help to solve problems
Group problem solving can also create stronger bonds between colleagues and improve the overall workplace
dynamic. By doing so, an effective and efficient teamplay with professional rapport are practiced.
1. Listen for comments.
Initial ideas can hold discussion and prevent possible good ideas. Every end of an event, the staff meeting shall be
made in a constructive way where all ears are open. This is to consider room for improvement. There are always
things that are unexpected, what’s important is that members know how to correct each other specially in kitchen
services where they should be professional in handling different people/customer.
2. Identify all the players and their needs.
Before trying to solve the problem, determine who will implement the resolution and who will benefit. By testing out
possible scenarios during team meetings, like for example overcooking an ingredient or missing out a step in the
recipe, the kitchen staff will have an idea on how to solve this and will enhance their critical thinking. Of course, the
goal is to improve the process and make sure that it’s a win-win situation for customers and severs. With this, it is a
must to clearly define roles of the servers to maximize their ability in their position
3. Take a completely fresh perspective.
“What if the food run out? What if an ingredient was overlooked? What if the menu was spoiled?”
Sometimes, in tight situations, emotions affect workmanship and that’s when it is needed to take a new perspective.
Almost every worker dwell in the now of situation and resort to quitting before involvement in the part of solution.
Create the mindset of “Be part of the solution and not be part of the problem”
III. Details of possible improvements on environmental sustainability operations
Having an environmentally sustainable kitchen is not as hard as it may sound. In fact, restaurants can immediately
start incorporating environmentally-friendly efforts inside their commercial kitchen space through the following;
1. Water Consumption
People don’t usually see how significant water especially in the kitchen when too much focused on using it for
cooking and cleaning. But this is highly significant once the kitchen is offered in an event specified in this
assessment. When analyzing dishwashers and other high water-consuming equipment, look at how much water is
used per rack.
2.The Importance of Composting
Composting is a simple and beneficial way to reduce food waste and avoid environmental harm. Benefits of
composting include:
Returns valuable nutrients back to the soil, enhancing plant growth
Provides a natural fertilizer that won’t burn plants like some chemical fertilizers
Improves air circulation in the soil
Retains soil moisture, reducing the need to water as frequently
By utilizing this, the team can contribute on achieving a green lifestyle with the community, by properly
understanding the importance of composting, they will have an urge to segregate and properly dispose of waste
and trash thus improving the cleanliness and orderliness of each service and function in the future.
IV. Common management problems or issues and methods to avoid
1. Decreased Efficiency and Performance
Employees may experience periods of time where they are not as productive as usual. A decrease in productivity
can sometimes affect other team members and overall goals, making it important to help employees feel motivated
and this may affect the overall efficiency of the team. To avoid this, a reward system is one way to motivate them in
doing better. Having a kitchen staff or the best cook of the function together with monetary incentive will have their
motivations up to somehow avoid burnout from happening. Permission of filing of leave will also be administered so
that the staff members will have time to not think of work so that we can lessen the stress and not have them
perform bad during functions and service.
2. Lack of Communication with team members
Another challenge manager’s face when overseeing teams is ensuring effective communication. Because every
team member has a different personality, there is a chance for miscommunication from time to time. Same thing
that happened during the buffet service where the Salmon was not presented well, this was because the station
and junior chef were both not communicating with each other and had different ideas about the presentation, it
ended up ruining the perfectly cooked salmon due to presentation. To avoid this, conducting team meetings and
team activities that will force them to communicate with each other will improve their way of communication, team
meetings that will focus on sample scenarios in the kitchen such as buffet service, set meal service and etc that will
test their team work.
