  • Wow, I love that they showed EVERYONE, not only the staff that is visible to the guests. Yes you may never see the dishwasher but a restaurant cannot *function* without them!
  • @vr0k3n
    Mexicans/latin people really are American restaurant's backbone. Big props to them <3
  • @bd8494
    The dishwasher is one of the most important roles imo. They start the life cycle over.
  • @jminh0
    They should post the wages also, lmao
  • @AnnapolisGirly
    I like that this wasn’t done in order of hierarchy. All these people are so important.
  • @TheMLBM100
    I absolutely love how incredibly diverse the kitchen staff is. This is really interesting.
  • @kaziiqbal7257
    What I love about this is that while this restaurant is a well oiled machine with many cogs, they all have an understanding and passion for both the bigger picture they’re a part of and the part they play in it. Often times in jobs in the service industry it’s easy to feel dehumanised but all these people have a sense of pride and purpose and I hope they’re paid well to boot!

    the immigrants have my heart working in the basement. big shout out to them. the backbone of NYC restaurants. willing to do what no other wants, for a lower fee. i too am an immigrant and worked as hard as these guys during my college years, usually dishwashing, cleaning toilets, and prepping food. i have fond memories of those days. it made me who i am today. every job needs to be respected.
  • bro that sommelier is a G, "the sommelier is like the bass player in a band, our job is to fatten out the sound" awesome analogy dude's a legend!!!
  • @matthewkorn1818
    Amazing! Its crazy how many people it really takes to run a restaurant.
  • @joeybible683
    And after 2 months that this was filmed, half of these people are not there anymore lol
  • Whoa! I thought this would be an explainer video with diagrams and graphics. Way better than I expected. I enjoyed it a lot..it felt so personal. Also, I love that every staff member introduced themselves and talked about their job. Thanks, Bon Appetit, restaurant staff and owner.
  • @theMK7
    I just love the editing style. It is very beautiful and engaging. Everyone had time to say something about what they do and they all seem to enjoy their job. Wonderful job guys.
  • @kcvinwehoLA
    How fascinating! It’s clear everyone strives to be the best they can, regardless of title or position. Such a widespread skillset among the team, too. I hadn’t realized the nuances of all these positions before.
  • @csatosoccer
    This is such a wonderful step forward to acknowledge each and ever person who makes a restaurant run. Media like this will be a big part to make working and living conditions better for the restaurant industry. Bravo!
  • @donpeps1471
