In a busy, high-pressure kitchen, it’s easy for mental and physical health to take a backseat. The long hours, tight deadlines, and constant push for perfection can wear on everyone—whether you’re working the line or running the show. But looking after your wellbeing, and making sure your team is doing the same, is more than just important—it’s essential.
That’s why we’ve put together a Health and Wellbeing Check-in Tool, made for kitchen workers at every level. It’s not just about checking off a list—it’s a way to spark real conversations, get to the heart of what your team might be going through, and figure out where they could use a little extra support.
How Does a Wellbeing Check-In Help?
Whether you’re a junior staff member or a senior leader, this tool helps you regularly check in with yourself or your team, ensuring that everyone’s needs are heard and supported. It’s a simple yet effective way to:
Check in with yourself: Reflect on how you’re feeling and assess your mental and physical health. Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or burned out? Use the check-in assessment to pinpoint how you’re really doing and what support could help you thrive.
Check in with your team: For senior staff or kitchen managers, the tool is a valuable way to gauge your team's wellbeing. It helps open up conversations with staff, giving you insight into how they're feeling and what concerns they may have—both in the kitchen and in their personal lives.

- How would you rate your mental health right now?
- Are you getting enough workplace support for your wellbeing?
