What a Michelin kitchen audit is
A Michelin audit is an operational review process that systematically assesses how ready a kitchen is for star expectations. Seeing gaps early prioritises corrective actions.
Mise en place and station check
Whether each station is ready at the defined standard and at the defined time is checked. Deficiencies are categorised and the responsible position is identified.
Supply chain compliance assessment
Supplier qualification, delivery quality records, and product specification compliance are assessed as part of the audit scope.
Plating reference compliance
Current plate outputs are compared with the photographic reference cards. Deviations are documented and classified by root cause.
Team qualification and training status
A minimum competency test is applied for each station. Training gaps are matched to a prioritised closure plan.
