One thing I’ve found helpful is continuous learning and creating of awareness among team members. Every member of the food and beverage team have to work together in a seamless manner. It begins with the host knowing their guests and communicating to the servers, the servers then need to talk to their guests and gather more information, after which that information is communicated to the chefs. Throughout my experience I’ve occasionally quiz my team or randomly place an order that is very specific or ‘picky’ as my team would call it. That keeps them engaged and ready at all times for any given circumstance.

In the words of the Alchemists of Olde: Festina Lente σπεῦδε βραδέως - Make Haste Slowly- Also rendered as “More haste, less speed” (He thought nothing less becoming in a well-trained leader than haste and rashness, and, accordingly, favourite sayings of his were: "Hasten slowly"; "Better a safe commander than a bold"; and "That which has been done well has been done quickly enough.") - Roman Emperor Augustus The meaning of the phrase is that activities should be performed with a proper balance of urgency and diligence. If tasks are rushed too quickly then mistakes are made and good long-term results are not achieved. Work is best done in a state of flow in which one is fully engaged by the task and there is no sense of time passing.

Culinary managers can balance speed and safety when preparing food by implementing efficient kitchen layouts, providing thorough staff training on food safety protocols, and using high-quality equipment to expedite the cooking process without compromising safety. Additionally, creating standardized recipes and procedures can help streamline operations while ensuring consistent quality and safety. Regular safety inspections, proper handling of ingredients, and clear communication among kitchen staff are also essential to maintain a safe and efficient culinary environment.

It is a chore to balancing speed and precision when cooking food. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here is what I've seen works in the culinary industry: 1) Balance which dish has priority of cooking in order of prep (but only in the same guest order). 2) If able, ask for someone to assist in your order. 3) Take the necessary time to cook the dishes for the order. Guests understand that time is required for cooking. 4) Be sure each station is cleared before reusing the station to ensure less cooking time is required. 5) Study in advance what are instructions for each dish as well. 6) Utilize any resources to help with dish prep as well (example: meat slicer). 7) If needed, ask the guest(s) for extra time in dish prep. You've got this.
