What duties would I need to complete as a Cook?
1st: the desire to perform, with the appreciation in the excitement and enjoyment of the results, to others! YOUR gratification should come from the admiration from your eaters/patrons!
To Answer Your Question you going to need experience & training that’s about it!
The duties that need to be completed by cook is prepping for the next shift. Also preparing meals that are ordered.Keeping your station cleaned and sanitized.Cleaning,washing dishes and inventory if needed before shift ends.
I would said that make sure that you have the supplies that you need stocked and organized, utensils and scales to weight and measure your ingredients if you are performing recipes, that way if you have a rush time you wouldn’t have to go crazy running here and there trying to find the stuff that you need, if you are organized your day would go smooth, at the end of the shift your priority would be to sanitize the tables and areas that you have been using to leave neat your station and ready for the next shift, if you bring up the dishes that you have been using as you go it would be way easy for the dish guys and you’ll be ready to go!!

What the menu is what recipes are you going from what type of equipment do you have and is there a prep cook available because if not whatever you're cooking has to be prepared first for you to cook so to complete as a cook you need to know what you're cooking and what type of equipment you got is very important
