Goal: The trainee can describe every dish on the menu in one sentence. Allergens identified. Modifications understood.
The trainee arrives early — 60 minutes before family meal — for a kitchen walk-through with the chef or sous chef.
Every food article:
Chef walks the trainee through the line during pre-shift mise. Trainee tastes 5+ items at family meal — the burger, the fries, one yakitori, one salad, one starter (chef's choice).
During service, the trainee runs food (under coach supervision). Plates delivered from the left, cleared from the right. Trainee announces dishes by name when delivering.
End-of-shift quiz: coach asks the trainee to describe 5 random dishes. Each in one sentence. Each with the primary allergen.
15-minute coach debrief. 5-dish quiz. Pass/redo on the spot.
Coach sign-off: Trainee describes every dish in 1 sentence, names the primary allergen, names two reasonable modifications.
