CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Rationale

Many people regularly multitask while cooking at home. Juggling


household chores, reusing limited kitchen utensils, and coordinating
overlapping cooking times for multiple recipes can cause frequent task
switching and simultaneous task monitoring while cooking. As a result, the
cook occasionally loses track of his cooking progress, especially when
determining which ingredients have already been added, counting multiple
scoops of an ingredient, and keeping watch of cooking times. Calling or
making appointments with a line Cook is in charge of preparing food and
setting up other necessary supplies. They make sure everything has been set
up correctly before starting work. They use specialized kitchen tools to
prepare essential ingredients and create a finished product for restaurants.
(Tran, Q.T., Calcaterra, G., Mynatt, E.D. (2005)).
In Spring/Summer 2020, most individuals living in the United States
experienced several months of social distancing and stay-at-home orders
because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Clinicians, restaurant
cooks, cashiers, transit operators, and other essential workers (EWs),
however, continued to work outside the home during this time in order to keep
others alive and maintain a functioning society. In the United States, EWs are
often low-income persons of color who are more likely to face socioeconomic
vulnerabilities, systemic racism, and health inequities. Line Chiefs/cooks
continue to hold a symbolic cultural role in most developed countries like the
United States. Chiefs have become informal administrators and points of
liaison between local communities and state institutions.
The growth of the food-service industry creates a demand for thousands of
skilled people every year. Many people are attracted by a career that is
challenging and exciting and, above all, provides the chance to find real
satisfaction in doing a job well.
Similarly, the Philippines has been known for its mass export of workers,
particularly poorly paid maids and construction workers who choose an
uncertain life abroad above deep poverty at home. But in recent years there
has been a trend towards higher-skilled and better-paying jobs, and line cooks
in the Philippines are now churning out tens of thousands of chefs a year for
kitchens around the world.
