Executive Chef Onboarding Checklist

The Executive Chef onboarding checklist is a detailed guide designed to facilitate a smooth transition for a new chef joining the company. The process is divided into four stages: Pre-boarding, First Day, First Week, and First Three Months. Pre-boarding focuses on providing essential information and resources, completing paperwork, and setting up introductory meetings. The First Day is structured with a timed schedule, including a tour, introductions, and overviews of safety procedures, daily operations, and the menu. During the First Week, the new chef gains hands-on experience, shadowing different stations, reviewing standards, and beginning to manage inventory. The First Three Months involve assuming full responsibility for kitchen operations, implementing menu changes, conducting performance reviews, and establishing relationships with suppliers. The checklist aims to provide a comprehensive onboarding experience, ensuring the new chef is well-prepared and integrated into the team.
