Why Your Kitchen Feels Chaotic (And How to Get Control Back)
Chaos in the kitchen usually comes from missing systems, unclear standards, and inconsistent accountability.
If your kitchen feels chaotic, I can almost guarantee:
Prep is unclear
Stations aren’t set the same way
Training is verbal, not written
Nobody knows “the standard”
And everyone is doing what they think is right
Kitchen chaos isn’t a personality problem.
It’s a systems problem.
The Fix Is Simple
Write the standards
Teach the standards
Coach the standards
Hold the standards
Most operators skip the last two steps — that’s where the chaos creeps in.
Final Thought
A smooth kitchen isn’t magic.
It’s discipline.
