• Execute the daily prep list assigned by the Chef de Partie, ensuring all vegetables, proteins, and garnishes are prepared to the exact size and cut specified.
• Perform intermediate cooking tasks independently, such as making basic stocks, blanching vegetables to the correct "al dente" texture, or rendering fats.
• Assist in the butchery or fish fabrication process, portioning proteins to the correct weight to ensure cost control.
• Check the quality of all raw ingredients upon delivery to the station, rejecting any wilted produce or off-smelling proteins immediately.

• Operate a specific part of the line during service (e.g., the Fryer station, Garnish station, or Salad station) under the direction of the Chef de Partie.

• Communicate clearly with the team, calling back orders ("Oui, Chef") to confirm understanding and timing.
• Maintain a clean workspace during the rush, wiping down boards and sanitising surfaces constantly.

• Practice strict personal hygiene and grooming standards (clean uniform, safety shoes, hair net/hat).
• Label and date every single item produced (Production Date / Expiry Date) before placing it in the fridge.
• Ensure raw and cooked foods are stored on separate shelves to prevent cross-contamination.
