Even though both find dining and fast food restaurants have the same concept of preparing food to be sold to the public for a profit there are many differences when you start to look at the way the food is prepared and presented. When working with fast food the cook can get very stressed after reading through two hundred tickets in a hour, and a lot of times has to take a break from cooking to go clear his or hers mind. This is a lot less stressful than working at a fast food place. With working at a “fancy” restaurant the cook can take his or her time make the plate perfect and then push it out.
To work in either one of these types of restaurants people have to like preparing food, or they probably will not last very long in the kitchen.
Since their ingredients are delivered fresh, this makes the prices of the food go up. All the food still gets pushed to the middle where it meets to be prepared for the ticket then pushed out the window to the waiting staff. One person runs the grill and the sandwiches, while the other works the oven. There is still a sense of try to be fast and get the food out but it isn’t as strong as in a fast food restaurant.Īt Milanos Greek and Italian restaurant it only takes two people to run the kitchen. When working in this kind of restaurant, they try to put more time into making every plate perfect and appealing to the costumer. This changes the whole mentality of the way the kitchen works. Usually they come to sit down, get comfortable, and spend time with their family or significant other. First, when people come to these restaurants they are not looking for it to be fast. Now at a “fancy” restaurant, everything is different. Their food is usually loaded down with grease and fat. (Putting sides with main item) Because they want to be fast most items on a fast food restaurants menu are not going to be healthy. The food that needs to be cooked, is either cooked on the grill or in a deep fryer, and then brought to the middle of the line where it is put together to make plates. For example, at The Clock of Williamston, there are five positions on the back line. Most fast food places use a type of assembly line to help cut down on time and confusion. When there is ten to twenty orders coming in at one time things can get confusing. This can make things in the kitchen very hectic. They just want it to be fast so they can eat and get back to whatever they were doing. They do not really look at how the food is presented to them. People go to fast food restaurants just for that it is fast and cheap. Also depending on what type of restaurant it is (Italian, Greek, Chinese, etc.) they usually season their product to their own recipes.
Where as a more of an upper class restaurant where they get most of their product delivered fresh. Most of a fast food restaurants product is delivered frozen and just needs to be cooked and thrown together. When it comes to fast food there is not much prep work that has to be done. Unless they have had experience working in a kitchen most people do not know what goes on behind the scenes. When walking into a fast food joint or a “fancy” restaurant people expect to order their food, wait for it to be prepared, then eat and leave. The two main types of restaurants in this world are Fine Dining and Fast Food. Although, there is thought put into the preparation of food in every restaurant the systems by which this is done are very different. The experience of working in the restaurant business can vary greatly depending on the type of restaurant it is.
