Being ambushed with a new menu....
it's my first time working at a hotel after coming from strictly restaurants, and I've never experienced anything like this...
we got a new executive chef sometime in the last 7-8months. they (F&B directors/exec chef) decided to roll out a new menu, but did not inform or train the kitchen staff on anything despite the menu being in the works for at least a month.
the night before the menu went live, I saw one of the sous chefs round up the kitchen crew, and left a single copy of the new menu. no matrix, no photos, absolutely nothing.
so here I am, after Easter weekend and I'm just thinking.....is this some type of tactic? why sabotage your own staff? I'm assuming it's some corporate BS... new chef, new menu, just trying to look good but seriously ?
it's just so bizarre. where's the pride in your food?
