Thinking on your feet is a necessity in working in a kitchen as there is always something going on around you. In order to be fully functional, you will need to able to make decisions at the drop of a dime, and they will have to be the right ones. This may not sound very difficult, but you must consider that a kitchen is almost always filled with people and many things are cooking at the same time. In this case, there is always a chance that something on the stove can go overlooked and begin to burn, a fire could break out with the simple misplacement of a dish towel, and confusion can easily break out among the staff.
