How to be a good sous chef?

A good sous chef acts as both a manager and a mentor in a busy working kitchen. Their skills are shared freely to improve and train other team members. They are leaders in the kitchen and have to balance cooking with caring for the business side of running a kitchen. They will order inventory, approve schedules, arrange menus, and work closely with the head chef to prepare and develop and improve dishes. Great communication skills and endurance are needed to prepare meals for customers during the busiest hours.
