Hello everyone. I just was hired at my first job. the owner told me that I will be an expeditor. I really don't know what this is other than they inspect food. Anyone used to be an expeditor? Any tips? What does it entail exactly?

Roles in the Restaurant
I just remembered some more from Gordon Ramsey's shows.
If you expediting food, you are standing in the kitchen by the pult where chefs put plates of prepared meals. Waiters bring you tickets - orders. You read them out to chefs and attach them in order overhead.
When a meal is ready, you check for quality and consistency. You make sure, all plates from one ticket/one table are ready at the same time and you direct waiters when to take them. You yell at chefs to hurry the heck up, and at waiters to stop messing up the tickets.
So you better learn the menu and the ingredients so you know if something is missing. Also you pay attention to getting the order right. If someone wanted gravy on side, or substitute rice for potatoes and such.
You taste the food on the plate, right before it is served.
That's what I did anyway.
im excited to start working. I think being an expo wont be bad at all. I appreciate the responses!
