Managing People in Commercial Kitchens: A Contemporary Approach uses original research to argue that senior managers (head chefs) should differentiate their people management practices in kitchen brigades from those used in the hospitality industry more generally (induction, socialisation, and performance evaluation) due to the group’s strong occupational identity and culture. The understanding of chefs’ work from a management perspective is critical for successful hospitality operations but has been historically under-researched. Chapters provide a detailed account of chefs’ work in commercial kitchens from an HRM perspective. Using occupational identity and culture as a vehicle, this book explores the different aspects of managerial work in commercial kitchen settings: general management, leadership, education and training, skills and competencies, managing deviant behaviour, managing stress, and managing diversity (focused on gender segregation). The final chapter looks at future perspectives on this unique working environment and the many challenges arising from the latest developments such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing both theoretical insights and practical applications with the use of case studies throughout, this will be of great interest to upper-level students and researchers in hospitality, as well as a useful reference for current managers in the field.

Food is indispensable to life, literally; and Cooking unfolds as a metaphor for life as Kitchen goes on weaving many threads of perspectives, lessons, and insights, which intertwine to reveal a tapestry of experiences and wisdom that effectively guides us in all spheres of life through right skills, right attitudes and right decision-making at every juncture that counts. Any keen observer would never fail to notice what a great citadel of learning our humble kitchen is, throwing up constantly many fundamental lessons in management, leadership, and right attitude towards life. Learning lessons is important, and indeed, is the first step towards self-transformation. But actual transformation happens only when we start being what we learn. Managing kitchen on a regular basis for people you love and value including your own self, does not let you cheat – that is the catch! When you genuinely care for people, your sense of responsibility automatically expands; you apply what you learn and in time, those learnings get ingrained into your system deeply as your auto-mode behavioral patterns, your second nature. Kitchen offers repeated opportunities to be, not just to appear to be!
