MODERATORS
That's it, they are oblivious. They are disconnected from the actual day-to-day labor in such a way they don't actually know the 'average' amount of waste to expect. They have MBA brain and are trying to use abstract formulas and concepts to create 'lean' sigma chains or whatever the fuck, they are thinking idealistically not materialistically. At least that's how the managers and bosses have been at restaurants I worked at. Anybody above 'chef' doesn't know shit about cooking, they visit the site maybe a couple of times per year on surprise inspections, and General Managers/Principals don't know anything either but think they do. Corporate sets the policy.
damn i wish the chefs where I'm at knew shit about cooking
the last time i called out sick the executive chef made collard greens for the vegan station without any salt..... in fact i seem to be the only person who knows you don't have to boil collard greens for over an hour to make them edible, actually
He saved them. I found them in the fridge the next day and thought this dude i hate made them but then found out no, the HEAD CHEF forgot salt
Or maybe he left it out on purpose because "there's salt at the table" (that goes back to not knowing shit about cooking though, all these fuckers say it and i get saying it as a JOKE if you FORGOT but salt affects the cooking process and should definitely be added multiple times throughout the cooking process!
either way i hate shit like that because students are going to eat it thinking I made it and it's going to taste like dogshit and they're not gonna eat my vegan slop in the future
Damn. I worked in a bit more of a formalized kitchen it sounds like where the chefs were on the line during peak hours, screaming obscenities, all the cliches. They were assholes but did know how to cook.
The only way to know a business is to know the culture, the supply chains and customer interactions, and the day-to-day functionality of it. And that requires actually working on the ground level. You need to be able to model it somewhat, but usually a high school level of education is enough.
The posh heads can come in with their KPIs and their agendas, but they will never understand the business as well as a perceptive grunt who paid attention in a few math, English, biology, psychology, and economics classes. Or just a perceptive grunt who reads books.
Any capitalist business that doesn't have a good idea of the reality on the ground (which is most of them) is going to have a huge exploitable weakness.
