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.
