Ordering supplies has also been changed by local food distributions that have online ordering programs decreasing time spent calling people and looking for new product and comparing prices. On the management side of things the Internet   Has made my job way easier on the organization and training level. I use google docs to write and organize all my recipes, make all my training materials, make work schedules thru a spreadsheet, and making order guides thru my spreadsheets. Then I use the google cloud to communicate with everybody in my staff about changes in presentations, procedures, and policies. When it comes to the restaurant guests, people can now go online to websites like yelp and urbanspoon.com to get ratings and feedback on what people think of the local restaurants. I have been working in restaurants since 1988 and I must say that the Internet has made me a better chef in all aspects of this job.
