Questions about hiring line cooks
Can I judge station speed from a video?
+
You can judge a lot of it. Cooks show knife work, mise en place, and movement through a sequence, which tells you whether they are organized enough to hold a station before you schedule a stage.
Can I hire for specific stations?
+
Yes. Cooks tag the stations they run, including grill, saute, fry, and pantry, so you can post for the exact hole in your line.
Do you verify food handler cards?
+
No. Vetano verifies identity with a government ID and shows demonstrated skill on video. Food handler cards and any other documentation stay with you to confirm.
