How we work together - the demands on us and the team
§ Honesty is the basic prerequisite for working together successfully.
Honesty with yourself and with others in the team.
§ We respect each other, our environment and the materials that are made available to us.
This starts with the handling of chopping boards and knives and does not end with the careful handling of our food.
§ We draw our daily motivation from the meaningfulness and importance of our work. Our goal is to get better every day, both personally and as a community, so that we don’t lose sight of the big picture. Because we are more than just cooks or waiters.
§ “First the work – then the pleasure”. Fun and enjoyment are the result of successful work.
§ We leave room for mistakes. These must always be communicated openly. If something breaks (or is no longer functional), we report it immediately. This also applies to all food produced
§ Our work credo is: CIP (continuous improvement process).
We want to get better every day & not repeat mistakes.
So that we can help each other to improve, we point out mistakes to each other & support each other with problems.
§ Only those who talk can be helped.
Continuous, honest, reflective communication is expected from each other.
Expectations towards others must be clear.
§ No room for egoists.
“One for all, all for one” You are only as strong as your weakest link.
§ Trust is good Control is better.
Everyone is responsible for checking themselves and their work, as well as the work handed over.
