As a chef I agree with most of this. I never heard the gift one before. We do work long hours and we have to get the kitchen clean beyond measure and can be draining after preparing food and then cooking it and cleaning down can be so exhausting. I love being a chef and seeing happy customers. As for the food allergy we do take it seriously as it can have a criminal backlash if we're not careful or the customer didn't communicate the allergy to the waiter. Same with health and hygiene procedures. So yeah please be kind and help out the people who work in the restaurant industry.
My grandfather was a chef and I wish I could shown him this. He was so amazing and taught me so much. Sadly I lost him in 2019 to cancer. Thank you for this video!!
The one time that I can recall telling a restaurant about a problem, it was really, really bad. We ordered rib-eye steaks as we have done at this location before. One received a rib-eye Two of us received what looked like a slab of ham and tasted like neither steak nor ham. We told the server, who seemed confused who brought out another server, who then brought out the chef, then the head chef who finally agreed something wasn't right.
We were eating crab at a restaurant and it smelled like cat p*ss, tasted just as bad. We told our server, to alert the chef, because this crab had clearly gone bad. People could get sick. Server came back with a message from the chef: it was Russian crab and that was how it was supposed to smell/taste. Bull. We got a manager and got our meal comped, luckily none of us got sick from the little we had. Restaurant went out of business shortly thereafter.
Lying about food allergies is the worst. All restaurants have safety protocols in place for people with food allergies which include special pans, and cleaned utensils, it might even involve shutting down parts of the kitchen in order to accommodate that one customer. If it's a legit allergy, then of course say something, but if it's just cause you don't like something and are afraid your food might touch that said item, you should stay home and make your own food instead.
So some of this is a little off. The fish thing does not apply to every place that doesn’t specialize in fish. Fish delivery’s happen through out the week expect for the weekends most of the time. The best way to have a good waiter is to not be to picky, and just eat something without taking to much time from the waiter. And dad jokes dont work with the FOH staff when it’s busy. Don’t come in the last 30 minutes of service. Most restaurants will be trying to clean and close down by that time. Some BOH staff dont like orders taken the last hour. Don’t say you have a onion or a garlic allergy. Those two things are in practically every savory dish. Remember to always tip. In a lot of states, if the waiter doesn’t make minimums wage in tips the restaurant has to pay them. And that’s a lot of money that some places cant afford. Specially right now in states that are still freaking out over covid. And the biggest tip is to not be a pain in the ass. The restaurant will most likely bend over backwards to help you with what ever you need, remember that the restaurant business is a very risky thing to get involved in, so any dollar counts, and the idea of losing your business isn’t taken lightly. Oh and buying the staff booze will definitely be welcomed. Most restaurant workers are drunks and addicts anyways. Haha
Everything on this list I totally agree cuz I worked in a kitchen. Restaurant kitchen nursery kitchen school kitchen and let me tell you It’s not that easy.
My "gift" is my willingness to bring a group of people and pay $1,000 for a tiny meal that cost them $25 for the ingredients and leaves all of us hungry.
Interesting list Great informative video however alot of this list doesn't apply to me I could never have someone else order for me because I don't like cheese, cooked produce besides canned green beans and corn, sauces, or lots of things mixed together I don't like any alcohol even rhe smell of alcohol I already ask waiters about dishes all the time because of how picky I am and I also ask to remove the things I don't like from dishes
My mom is so determined to be a good customer she had to be pushed to tell a server that her pancakes were raw in the center. To be fair, it was a busy afternoon but since she was polite even as she brought up the issue, she got a swift apology and swift replacement of her dish.
Yeah I get $15 an hour and have been workings a cook for a year. Yet I work to make sure I arrive on time even if I have to call an Uber to do so, come in when I am off, I walk to work everyday, I am also an artist, and I can work any station. If feels good but it is hard even if the restaurant is not 5 starts. 4 stars
Having worked in a few kitchens as a chef's hand substitutions annoyed the hell out of me. And gifts to the kitchens I've had that happened to me a few times. Best gift though a nice bottle of whiskey. But then again it could have also been a condolence\birthday gift.
Wouldn't take a gift to a restaurant, chefs get paid more than me and unless I'm a regular every week I'm def not taking a gift to a random restaurant. The reason restaurants are busy at optimal times are for a reason, who wants a table at 9. If fish is on the menu it should be fresh and it's not my job to know otherwise so not sure why chefs wish I knew that. Also, most people work long hours and that's why we go to restaurants to unwind and relax not to take gifts to the chef I don't know. Being polite to staff, not being fussy with the menu and not sending food back for ridiculous reasons is good enough I think.
So, spending a small fortune on a meal and drinks and tipping 20-25%+ isn’t enough, now we have to bring a gift? Are you kidding me? I know of no one who had ever brought a gift to a restaurant for the staff. Where did you get this info? I’d only do that if the restaurant was owned by someone I knew or was maybe a frequent diner and they went above and beyond to take care of me. I call BS MsMojo.

My dad is a professional chef. I think I should show him this video.
Cool
I really love the point about giving the restaurant a gift as a token of appreciation. I'm definitely going to do that more often. 💖

Weird to say that, but i'd never speak my budget out loud to anyone, also not the waiter lol but yea, some of those advices seem legit.
I love Remy🥰
Me too, what a smart cute rat he is
Thank u I worked in food service since I was a teen LET THEM KNOW🦋

My dad is quite the chef but he doesn’t prefer to be in the restaurant business or do it in a competition while being timed
I’m surprised you started this video with a clip from Family Guy.

#3 really contradicts your "Top 10 Coolest Jobs in the World" list. Chefs don't have a cool job unless they make it big like Guy Fieri did.

@@ELmayberry I’m glad it’s not just me. Is that how they do fancy restaurants in places like New York? I have no idea. 🤷♀️
