you, your organisation and/or your team.
• Describe the situation or innovation that you have chosen to report and reflect on. Online Ordering & QR Code
• Describe the trend or practice and how you applied it to your own practice.
In my own practice as a chef, I applied this trend by selecting suppliers that prioritize sustainable farming methods and by designing menus that highlight seasonal ingredients.
This not only reduced waste but also allowed me to offer fresher, healthier dishes to customers, aligning with growing consumer demand for ethical and environmentally friendly
dining experiences.

what the sustainability benefits were.
• Describe the situation that you have chosen to report and reflect on.
Using food bank, water consumption, energy consumption,
• Describe how you improved the sustainability of your operation – how did the operation work initially? What was the change that you made? What were the sustainability

Reflection (What skills and techniques did I use? What policies and procedures did I follow? How did I ensure efficiency, safety and quality? How did I ensure that my team met
quality standards? What did I learn and how might I apply this in future? What might I do differently next time?)
For the team to meet quality standards, I set clear expectations, provided guidance during service, and encouraged open communication. Pre-service meetings and post-service
evaluations were key to aligning everyone with quality goals. I learned that clear communication and proactive organization are crucial to maintaining both efficiency and high
standards. In the future, I might apply more robust training for the team to build skills and consistency. Next time, I would focus on further optimizing the division of labor to
enhance both speed and precision during peak times.

Reflection (What skills and techniques did I use? What policies and procedures did I follow? How did I ensure efficiency, safety and quality? How did I ensure that my team met
quality standards? What did I learn and how might I apply this in future? What might I do differently next time?)
During the coaching session, I used observation, demonstration, and feedback techniques to help Hari Gautam improve his speed and coordination in a fast-
paced kitchen. I followed the restaurant’s policies on food safety, hygiene, and team communication to ensure both efficiency and quality. By focusing on mise en
place and clear instructions, I ensured the team met quality standards during service. I learned that small adjustments in workflow and communication can
significantly improve performance. In the future, I will emphasize more hands-on practice during quieter periods to reinforce learning. Next time, I might also
introduce short team drills to improve collaboration under pressure.
