- Inconvenient – This can be from the Head Chef keeping the list of a standardized recipe in his room and keeping it locked or having three big books of the standardized recipe and needing kitchen staff to flip over one by one to get everything done. Inconvenience is the number one factor that has led to kitchen staff not using standardized recipes.
- Time-consuming—This is also one reason why a standardized recipe is not followed. During peak hours, a kitchen does not have time to waste, and every second counts.
- Better variations—Some Chefs prefer to follow their own preferences for taste; some worship their own beliefs. This could cause a problem when proper training and Kitchen Control are not provided.
- Rules are meant to be broken. There are always different people/consumers around your restaurant, important customers. When standardized recipes are not tested regularly in the restaurant, inaccurate information may be provided in the standardized recipe. Solution: Leave room or space for food/cooking variation. This usually happens when the Head Chef is not properly organized or trained for his position.
