What are The Different Positions of a Chef?

Every kitchen today contains a structure that defines the roles of the employee and everyone is expected to abide by them. The kitchen is divided into a positional hierarchy often known as Brigade de Cuisine-its a french brigade system to maintain the kitchen and allow smooth functioning.

 

We need to be aware of this hierarchy and understand our position in it and get the required position when you see the tag I need a chef.
