The Family Tree of the Kitchen

If you plan on working in a professional kitchen you should know that you’ll be expected to start at the bottom and work your way up the chain - it’s just how it is.

If you’ve ever wondered exactly how that chain breaks down, you’ll appreciate this infographic from Chef Help which starts at Commis and works up the kitchen family tree to Executive Chef.

The infographic looks at each role on the kitchen ladder and explains the key jobs expected at each level.

It’s a nice snapshot of the kitchen and a great resource for those wanting to start a culinary career who don’t know how the hierarchy of the kitchen works.
