"I will determine which item requires my attention by the amount of time we are behind, and then the financial impact of not getting it done on time. For instance; burning a steak because it wasn't tended to is much more costly than a salad waiting to be taken out for 3 minutes longer than expected. I also understand the pure importance of having a diligent and well trained team of support staff in the kitchen. Delegating to them is an incredibly helpful way to ensure that priorities are taken care of."
