Move Your Drink Gus finds an open personal drink beside the prep containers. The kitchen has a designated drink area for a reason. #GusBrennan #FoodSafety #KitchenDrinks #PrepLine #ChefRant #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Wash Wooden Boards Properly A wooden prep board comes out of the dish machine warped and split. Gus delivers the care lesson that should have happened before the damage. #GusBrennan #WoodenBoards #KitchenCare #DishRoom #ChefRant #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

We Do Not Need A River The prep sink faucet runs while nobody uses it. Gus is tired of watching clean water disappear down the drain for no reason. #GusBrennan #SaveWater #PrepSink #KitchenHabits #RestaurantLife #ChefLife #KitchenLife #LineCook

Cover The Food Gus finds an uncovered pan abandoned in the freezer. Cold air preserves food, but it does not protect exposed food from drying out and absorbing odors. #GusBrennan #FreezerStorage #FoodQuality #KitchenTraining #ChefProblems #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Move The Broom Someone leans a floor broom against the prep table. Gus explains why cleaning equipment needs its own proper storage area. #GusBrennan #KitchenSanitation #CleaningTools #PrepArea #RestaurantProblems #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Keep The Oven Door Closed Gus watches the oven door open every twenty seconds. Constant checking is not making dinner cook faster. #GusBrennan #OvenDoor #KitchenHabits #DinnerService #ChefRant #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Use The Step Ladder Someone uses an upside down milk crate to reach a high shelf. Gus points toward the proper ladder sitting only a few feet away. #GusBrennan #WorkplaceSafety #StepLadder #KitchenCrew #ChefRant #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Do Not Serve On Chipped Plates Gus finds a chipped dinner plate headed toward service. A damaged plate is not rustic charm; it is a hazard that belongs out of circulation. #GusBrennan #DishSafety #RestaurantStandards #KitchenTraining #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Stop Stacking The Freezer Like That Frozen boxes are balanced in a tower above Gus's head. One missing case could turn inventory into an avalanche. #GusBrennan #FreezerSafety #KitchenStorage #BackOfHouse #ChefProblems #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Change The Gloves Gus watches someone touch half the kitchen with gloved hands and then reach for food. Gloves only stay clean when people use them correctly. #GusBrennan #GloveSafety #HandHygiene #KitchenTraining #FoodSafety #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Stop Pouring Grease Down The Drain Gus catches cooking grease headed toward the sink and explains why the shortcut ends with clogged pipes and an expensive repair. #GusBrennan #GreaseDisposal #KitchenPlumbing #RestaurantProblems #ChefRant #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Portions Are Not Guesses Gus catches wildly different portions leaving the line. The correct scoop exists so every guest gets the same amount and prep lasts through service. #GusBrennan #PortionControl #KitchenConsistency #ServiceLine #RestaurantLife #ChefLife #KitchenLife #LineCook

Stop Overfilling Containers Someone packs a storage container past the top and balances the lid above it. Gus would like refrigeration to involve actual sealed food. #GusBrennan #FoodStorage #PrepProblems #KitchenOrganization #ChefRant #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Unplug It Before Cleaning Gus finds the meat slicer ready for cleaning while it is still connected to power. This is not the place for shortcuts. #GusBrennan #SlicerSafety #KitchenTraining #PrepStation #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Let The Pans Cool Freshly heated metal pans get stacked together, trapping heat and creating a nasty surprise for the next person who touches them. #GusBrennan #HotPans #KitchenSafety #RestaurantTraining #ChefProblems #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

Taste First Gus watches someone season a sauce without tasting it. Confidence is not a substitute for knowing what is already in the pot. #GusBrennan #TasteFirst #KitchenSkills #SauceStation #ChefRant #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

The Exit Is Not Storage Supply boxes block the kitchen exit, and Gus refuses to let convenient storage create a serious emergency hazard. #GusBrennan #KitchenSafety #ClearTheExit #RestaurantProblems #BackOfHouse #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook

The Can Opener Needs Cleaning Gus finds a filthy can opener attached to the prep table. The tool touches food every day, despite everyone pretending otherwise. #GusBrennan #KitchenSanitation #CanOpener #PrepKitchen #ChefRant #ChefLife #KitchenLife #RestaurantLife #LineCook
