Cuisinier (cook) is an independent position, usually preparing specific dishes in a station may also be referred to as a cuisinier de partie. Those who work in a lesser station are commonly referred to as a demi-chef. Chef de partie (senior chef "chief of the group") is responsible for managing a given station in the kitchen, specializing in preparing particular dishes there.

Sous-chef de cuisine (deputy or second kitchen chef "under-chief") receives orders directly from the chef de cuisine for the management of the kitchen, and often serves as the representative when the chef de cuisine is not present. Similarly, cuisine means "kitchen", but also refers to food or cooking generally, or a type of food or cooking.Ĭhef de cuisine (kitchen chef "chief of the kitchen") is responsible for overall management of kitchen supervises staff, creates menus and new recipes with the assistance of the restaurant manager, makes purchases of raw food items, trains apprentices, and maintains a sanitary and hygienic environment for the preparation of food. Note: Despite the use of chef in English as the title for a cook, the word actually means "chief" or "head" in French. As noted under some titles, certain positions are combined into other positions when such a large staff is unnecessary. Only the largest of establishments would have a staff of this size.
