Normally after three years of loyal service to a restaurant, the cook may take on a number of responsibilities, including...

-inventory ordering
-management of the kitchens
-preparing menus with the executive chef/owner
-preparing the schedule for the line cooks & cleaners
-preparing the monthly budgets
-keeping track of the dinning floor and wait staff
-keeping banquets in order

Actually there are many more... A sous chef's or even an executive chef's position is very important to the success of the restaurant. And normally after 3 years at one restaurant, a prep cook can be promoted to a sous chef then later a executive chef. If the cook decides to go to a different restaurant, they may have to prove to the new owner that they could handle the sous or executive chef position before getting the job.

It depends on the experience.
As a cook, they should be able to prepare simple cuts of steaks and ribs and chickens and fish with minimal wastage.
As a chef, they should be able to prepare vast and extrordinary cuts of meats and poultry and seafood-- ranging from veal, lamb, scallops, lobster, osters, with practically no wastage at all, if any!
And they should be compentent to work a veggie station with absolutely no wastage of good quality cuts.
