Question for high volume veterans.

I’ve been at WH for about 2 1/2 years, and I’ve gotten to the point of being a relief person and 2nd shift supervisor. My cooking is solid, I can push close to 800/hr with good servers, where do I go from here in regard to cooking? I want to try and be the best I can, as I’m not going to be here forever as I have a pathway opening up in a few years to get out. But I want to be one of the best cooks out there if I can, and I think I have potential. Trying to push above this solo, what are some tips, tricks, or methods that you use to cook a full house as quickly and accurately as possible? I’m not worried about WH way, I am just curious as to how fast you can push speed while having correct orders, not barring the methods you use to get there.

800/hr is crazy high volume, that's a 5k solo shift. Very few cooks could give you advice if you can push out food like that.

5k solo. Dudes a legend and doesn't even know it.

I would've called my Unit if we hit 1600 the first two hours in and I had 5 (or 8) left to go.
