Gordon gives us his top five tips for running a restaurant. Copious amounts of swearing should do the trick! For more videos like this go to www.quepasacontent.co.uk/
1. Make sure you have the passion 2. Establish your staff's commitment 3. Embrace your competition 4. Maintain your creative input 5. Remember that customer is king
This man inspired me to be a Chef, Thank you so much. I run my kitchen the way he does and run my kitchen with all these tips that he gave. You have to as a Chef/Owner.
I'm a bistro pub chef and I wish to work with Chef Ramsay. Dedicated, Organized, and tough ! When you work in a kitchen with culinary school graduates it is a nightmare !!!!!!!! and all Mr. Gordon does is shape you, open up your mind, dedicates you to a life in the kitchen ......... Believing customers are #1 is his main goal ........... Love the chef he has earned my respect since many in this cooking world have lost the respect of the customers and serve crap out of the line .
fact is gordon isn't really a jerk and he's not gonna curse all the time ... he only does it because he has passion for cooking ... and hates seeing some ppl who don't appreciate cooking ....
I'm all for Mr. Ramsay here, and his last point being "Customer is King" kind of throws me off. Because on several occasions, when a customer has come into the restaurant in Hell's Kitchen and ordered something that was not on the menu (e.g. fried eggs and bread or something) he absolutely obliterates the customer. Why? The customer is making it slightly easier for him by ordering that, Gordon's still gonna charge them, and the customer will be happy. Why bash the customer if they're king?
All very cynical and well thought out. He knows it's a show and people want to see him do that. The people who go up expect it... all a clever charade! I think in reality, he knows how his bread is buttered and wants to please the customer because as he says... no customers = no business
Ah see I didn't know that. In that case then yeah I can understand him being a prick to them, they're getting free food and still complaining about it. I'd throw them out!
It's funny how he says "the customer is king" yet, in Hell's Kitchen, any time a customer comes to him with a problem, he calls them a donkey and tells them to fuck off.
@MannyScoot Are u really a chef that well train? I hope so. Try to work with the "nightmare" and train ur "nightmare" well before u work with any of the celebrity chef or any 5 star fine dining restaurant chef...coz u will not be those chef's nightmare!
the customers know that the cooks are amateurs, and i think they dont even pay to eat... they eat for free. So i can understand gordon going off on the customers because im sure they know whats up, and they only go up to chef ramsay for t.v time.
Yeah.. boredom sucks, because then you start to think, right? Commercial sucks!!!! But Gordon know's what he's talking about. I'd wish he stopped kissing the customers ass all the time though, as if he's begging us to eat at his restaurants.
Try to avoid Indian customers because they never leave a tip! A majority of my Indian customers who dine in at my restaurant, don't leave a tip. A small minority do leave an average tip, but my servers are lucky to get one dollar from most Indian customers. Although many of them drive BMWs or Mercedes Benz, giving you 14 cents will be very generous.
In China they don't tip at all. They find it offensive to do so because they are getting paid for their work as it is. In USA they done tipping because the restaurants just didn't want to pay their staff a proper full wage.
I'm not a fan of 'tipping', it's the restaurants responsibility to pay their staff properly. In the UK it's not really very common at all, and I'm glad, when I'm out with friends /family i want to enjoy my time.... not worry about offending waiters and trying to figure out how much to 'tip'.

Actually, those 5 rules apply to just about every business.
Well that was pleasant I half expected him to yell at me at some point
Genius
@craigweir86 100% right mate.

They don't act as customers should as they are rude and should not be there amd on hells kitchen they get their food for free and get paid
he didn't swear a word?!
with so many restaurants he owns and his tv shows? How does he manage it all and keep the quality control?
He pays people to do the work for him.
he was actually bitter about that show, because there was more acting/drama than cooking.
a third person didn't cook his scallops in a non-stick pan.
All very cynical and well thought out. He knows it's a show and people want to see him do that. The people who go up expect it... all a clever charade! I think in reality, he knows how his bread is buttered and wants to please the customer because as he says... no customers = no business
1 person forgot his lamb sauce
How does he have American producers on a British TV show?
2 person forgot his lamb sauce
He may be disliked by many but he knows what he's saying!
Ah see I didn't know that. In that case then yeah I can understand him being a prick to them, they're getting free food and still complaining about it. I'd throw them out!

@Abraxes911 That just a show not real business...
the customers know that the cooks are amateurs, and i think they dont even pay to eat... they eat for free. So i can understand gordon going off on the customers because im sure they know whats up, and they only go up to chef ramsay for t.v time.
Wk 3 Restaurant business; jobs
so who is he again?
Gordon Ramsay, a Swedish major chef.
Your father
gordon
Apparently he has issues with making decent eye contact. His eyes are all over the place, it's rather annoying.
Yeah.. boredom sucks, because then you start to think, right?
Commercial sucks!!!!
