Summary
So you’re a Sous Chef or a strong Chef de Partie who is up at the crack-of-dawn? You love the idea of being able to get everything set up before the rest of the world wakes up, so that they can come down from their room, smelling then seeing a feast that you’ve created for them to set them up for the day.
As clichéd as it sounds, you’ll believe that delivering memorable experiences really is all about the small details. How will you do this? Well, you’ll make sure the coffee is fresh, hot and bottomless; you’ll also make sure that your regular guest, Raj, has his 2 (cremated) crispy bacon rashers ready, just as he likes it, for when he comes down for breakfast.
