Why does restaurant work require inventory and cost knowledge as well as cooking?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
Sustaining a restaurant requires knowing ingredients used and remaining, portions, and costs alongside good food. These affect profit. Dao Fan understood the reasoning after learning.
Initially Dao Fan feared inventory, statistics, and analysis, doubting logical ability and even having nightmares. Repeated learning with a supervisor gradually revealed why recipes specify quantities and ingredients need tracking. Business considerations lie behind them; simply using everything up is insufficient.
Understanding changed rejection into interest, and Dao Fan stayed in the work for a long time. Begin learning what you cannot yet do to discover previously unnoticed aspects. Many skills accumulate this way rather than being present from the start.
