Reliability/Accountability

Being reliable means showing up for work on time, prepared, and ready to work. Showing up for work on time means clocking in on time once you are dressed, with your tools, and ready to jump on projects, or the line. Prepared means having sharp knives, clean uniform, and sharpies locked and loaded. Ready for work means, mind clear, focused, and clear what the task is for the day. The chefs are there for training and support always, but as an employee of Gjelina NY you are reliable and an integral part of the team.

Being accountable means you are responsible for the work you do once you are clocked in. It takes a team of motivated individuals to make sure a restaurant functions at a high standard. We expect the end products to be consistent and delicious! This means tasting throughout the process, and getting approvals from chefs when you are unsure. If ever doing a project for the first time, please ask to be shown by a chef, or a lead. If something goes wrong, which will eventually happen, please do not hide it! We will not chastise for honesty, it is part of what being accountable means. We are all on a team and want to make the best of every bad situation together. You may even learn a new way to fix the problem.
