Pouvons-nous vous rencontrer ?
Hi, 👋 I'm Chukwumezie Rachael, the acting Executive Chef at The Wheatbaker Hotel.
Qu'est-ce qui vous a incité à choisir une carrière dans l'industrie hôtelière ?
I was inspired to choose a career in the hotel industry because I love interacting with people, cooking delicious meals, and exploring diverse cultures. When you think of culture, you think about food.
Quel espoir une petite fille peut-elle avoir dans cette industrie, compte tenu de la façon dont elle est perçue en Afrique ?
Education Empowerment with experience, training and educating the girl child can move the ladder to leadership positions like front desk managers, housekeeping supervisor, or even executive roles.
What is your typical day like?
My typical day involves preparing the menu for the day, cooking and managing the affairs of the kitchen, and making sure we meet up with the daily tasks.
A quel point aimez-vous cet endroit ?
I love it here so much that I have decided to make it a career here.
If you are offered a salary that is higher than what you have here, will you take it?
While compensation is important, I am driven by opportunities for growth, challenges, and making meaningful contributions.
Outside of Work at The Wheatbaker, what else do you do?
I am an influencer, a content creator, and a business person
Qu'est-ce qui vous plaît le plus dans votre travail ?
This job has brought a lot of opportunities as a girl child. I have met people of different races and regions, most especially, it has given me the opportunity to tour and explore.
Avez-vous un collègue préféré ? Qui est-ce et pourquoi ?
Augustina🥰 because she matches my energy when the heat and pressure of the kitchen is high. She has the power of three people in one, just like me.
What meal is your best seller that you'd recommend to any guest, irrespective of gender or race?
Our half-roasted chicken marinated in our in-house special marinade with a side dish of our smoky Jollof rice. No matter the day of the week, it flies off the table as soon as it's placed.
Advice for the young ones coming for your role
Advice for the young ones coming into my role would be never be afraid to ask for help, always be confident in what you do, and treat guests and employees with fairness and kindness. Lastly, failure is part of life. If you fail, just keep trying; you will surely get there.
