The battle between front-of-house and back-of-house employees is a tale as old as time. So, it comes as no surprise that the people on the line (usually men) are inclined to make a mockery of their teammates when servers make mistakes that impact the kitchen.

• At what point does an owner or manager need to step in to diffuse disagreements in the workplace?
