Commis chef in French

In France, search for commis de cuisine, aide de cuisine, commis tournant or commis de cuisine en restauration collective. The usual qualifications are the CAP Cuisine, the Bac pro Cuisine and the Titre professionnel Commis de cuisine, often prepared through apprenticeship. No diploma is legally required, and many kitchens hire beginners and train them. The French brigade system gives the commis a clear place under the chef de partie, and learning the kitchen vocabulary (mise en place, envoyer, chaud derrière) is part of the job. Expect split shifts, evenings and weekends, and seasonal contracts in tourist areas. Basic French is usually needed to follow instructions during service.
