Working in a restaurant can be a very rewarding career, and it is one of the few where someone can begin working with no experience and make it to the top. It is possible to go to school to acquire managing or culinary experience. There are three categories of positions within a restaurant: the front of the house, the back of the house, and the top of the house. Front the house positions include servers, busboys, host, and other more exotic positions. Back of the house positions include chefs, cooks, and dishwashers. Top of the house include managers, accountants, and purchasers.
One of the dreams of people going into the restaurant business is to own their own restaurant, but this is a very demanding job that requires work 7 days a week. Dedicated owners can make is a success, but they need to put in the work and control all aspects of their business. Ways to find out more about the business are also explained. Food lovers and people who think they may be interested in working in a restaurant will appreciate the thoroughness of the information presented here.
