Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Food temperature logs — maintain accurately and flag out-of-range readings independently during daily meal production cycles.
  • Menu items for special dietary or nutritional restrictions — cook routinely with reduced oversight using facility-approved recipes in a healthcare or school cafeteria.
  • Dry goods, refrigerated, and frozen food supplies — rotate and store consistently according to labeling and expiration schedules without prompting.
  • Cooking equipment and kitchen appliances — clean, inspect, and report functional issues using a facility maintenance checklist after each shift.
  • Meal portions — apportion and serve efficiently to large groups of patrons during high-volume service periods in an institutional dining setting.
  • Meat, fish, and poultry items — clean, cut, and cook to proper internal temperatures following menu specifications with minimal supervision.
  • Production timelines — manage personal workload and coordinate with coworkers to ensure all menu components are ready at scheduled service times.
  • Point-of-sale or tray-tracking software — use to record meal counts and dietary substitutions at the serving line in a cafeteria environment.
  • Quality of outgoing food items — analyze for portion size, temperature, and appearance before service and correct minor deficiencies independently.
  • Sanitation standards — apply consistently across work areas and equipment, adapting procedures when non-routine cleaning situations arise.
