Chef Career Specializations
Large eating establishments usually have varied menus and kitchen staffs that include several chefs and cooks along with less skilled kitchen workers. Each chef or cook tends to have a special assignment and a special job title, such as vegetable, fry or sauce cook.
Institution and cafeteria cooks work in the kitchens of hospitals, schools, cafeterias and other "institutions." They prepare a large quantity of a limited number of entrees, vegetables and desserts for each meal.
Restaurant cooks tend to prepare a wider selection of dishes, and cook most orders individually.
Short-order cooks prepare food in restaurants that emphasize fast service. They grill and garnish hamburgers, fry eggs, prepare sandwiches and often work on several orders at the same time.
Fast food cooks prepare a limited selection of menu items in fast-food restaurants. They cook and package batches of food, which are either prepared to order or kept warm until sold.
Private household cooks plan and prepare meals, clean the kitchen, order groceries and may serve meals.
