Jose Frayre: 3rd Post

Organization, many times is left aside because we "don't have time", but it is a vital part of any organization, especially in the food service industry. The simple fact that one has to manage, should scream out for the need of organization. One has to keep track of everything. Nothing can be so insignificant to forget or not document. While there are major occurrences that one will have to document, most of the happenings in a food service establishment will not be too major, but still it is absolutely essential to document them all. The worst thing in my opinion, is asking a supervisor a question, and that supervisor not being able to answer it because they don't even know where their head is.

Supervisors should not get lost in the abyss of their own pile of junk they call an office. A supervisor must be organized at all times. There is no excuse for poor organization. One must know where everything is, and be consistant with organization; keeping all documents that are related to each other together. If one is organized, then that organization will allow for the caring out of other tasks in a much smoother manner.

The supervisor will also be able to make more rational decisions, concerning the kitchen and the staff, because the supervisor will have the information necessary to make good decisions, organized and easily accessible. So in turn the decision making process will be made easier because of organization; the decisions will not be impulsive or indecisive, and will be less intuitive and more rational.
