    as per my response to your other thread, IPT have previously said this"

    "What distinguishes a chef from a cook under
    ANZSCO, however, is some effective responsibility for planning menus, estimating
    food and labour costs, and ordering food supplies. A chef also monitors quality of
    dishes at all stages of preparation and presentation and discusses food
    preparation issues with managers, dieticians and others. These are not the core
    tasks of a cook. Therefore, unless and until the evidence establishes a sufficient
    degree of involvement in the tasks of a chef, the role performed by an applicant
    cannot fall within any of the specialisations expressly recognised in the ANZSCO
    description of a Chef, even if he or she is regarded as a commis chef within the
    particular kitchen in question."

    Thanks a lot chrismwn.....
    But thats wat going in my mind....that what type of evidence can be provided....
    Orders are done on phone....
    Labour cost is done by accounts and finance dept...
    Planning and monitoring is done either practically or discussing with other staff...
    So if u can help with the example docs to provide to inz to make case stronger.. cheers

    Get letters from the people that you deal with by word of mouth - that's the only evidence I can think of if nothing is put on paper.

    Try to emphasize all the duties again. But good way is gathering more reference from the workplace.
    What I did eg. Monitoring and discussing issues - ref from restaurant manager, waitstaff, chefs and kitchen hand that how i communicate with them each side.
    Ordering - better to get ref from distrubutions

    I think your letter and your boss (hr manager or heac chef who is caring and watching person )'s letter is the most important.
