From Intern to Co-Lead: Yvonne Melee Simon's Rise at Hisa Franko
Yvonne Melee Simon, a native of California, has risen from an intern to now co-leading the kitchen of Hisa Franko, alongside Ana Roš. This remarkable journey coincides with the restaurant's recent accolade of three Michelin stars, which has sparked a surge in applications, though not all driven by genuine interest.
The third Michelin star has significantly boosted Hisa Franko's appeal as a workplace and training ground. Ana Roš, the esteemed chef, welcomes this constant staff turnover as it keeps the team dynamic and encourages them to step out of their comfort zones. However, she expresses a desire for well-trained, self-confident individuals rather than those merely seeking to enhance their resumes.
Roš's approach to staffing has proven successful in her other ventures. She plans to open another branch of her JAZ in Istria, seeking trained professionals instead of interns. This strategy has resulted in a high calibre of applications. Looking back, Roš recalls a similar surge in interest when she was named 'Best Chef in the World' in 2017, with applications for internships at Hisa Franko significantly increasing.
Yvonne Melee Simon's rise at Hisa Franko serves as a testament to the opportunities that can arise from dedication and hard work. Meanwhile, Ana Roš's approach to staffing, driven by a desire for quality and commitment, continues to attract high-calibre professionals, further cementing Hisa Franko's reputation in the culinary world.
