The conversation also explores topics like earning respect from your staff, learning from every coworker you meet, balancing authority with empathy, and figuring out your own management style. Along the way, they share stories from the kitchen, lessons learned the hard way, and practical advice for anyone thinking about taking the next step in their hospitality career.
