The difference between an executive chef and a chef.

There are differences between them in responsibilities, emphases and status levels.

1, responsibility. The executive chef is mainly responsible for the management and operation of the whole kitchen, including making menus, planning the purchase of ingredients, managing the kitchen team, and ensuring that the quality and taste of dishes meet the standards, while the chef is mainly responsible for the training of chefs and the daily management and business work of the kitchen.

2. focus. The focus of the executive chef's work is management skills, which requires high administrative ability. Chefs focus on the training of chefs and the organization and leadership of kitchens.

3. Status level. The executive chef usually has a higher position. In many star-rated hotels, the executive chef has the same treatment level as the department manager, and the chef is directly responsible to the executive chef.
