Working in the restaurant industry is character building—whether you are a chef, bartender, part of the wait staff or the owner. Everyone should try the experience for a year or two. Once you have worked in the restaurant industry you will have an excellent understanding of what makes people tick. This knowledge will be put to good use in whatever field you choose to work. Restaurant customers mostly behave as they do—positive and negative—because they’ve never been on the other side of the menu. Most of the eaters have never been servers of food. It’s a wonderful rewarding business when things are going well. When things start to go wrong everything unravels in a hurry! To be good at the restaurant business you have to be multi-talented: a good cook, a creative designer, an astute accountant, good manager and part psychologist. You also have to be prepared to watch for people who skip without paying, those who do not leave tips and customers who are never satisfied. It’s all part of the restaurant business so be prepared. Expect the worst and hopefully you’ll be pleasantly surprised! For those who thought you could start your work day late and get up when you wanted to. Dream on! If you are an owner your day starts hours before you open and ends when the last employee goes out the door. Then there are the nights spent working on the books. If you are in the kitchen you have to menu plan and shop hours before you open. Then you have to do food preparations so everything is ready to go when customers start arriving. Wait staff have to be at work at least an hour before opening to get tables set up and an hour after the last customer to clear and set up for the following day. Wages are not high but tips can be good if you know how to deal with customers. Wait staff are on their feet all day and lift heavy trays full of food and china. If you aspire to work in the restaurant industry make sure you have the strength and stamina for it and above all get yourself a good pair of walking shoes. Walking/jogging shoes with excellent cushioning insoles are a must. You need at least two pair so you can give your poor, tired feet some variety. If you can afford to do so, start your work in the restaurant business by working part time. Your body needs to build up to the grueling job you are subjecting it to. Even if you can’t afford it, try working part time at food services and part time elsewhere. Working in the restaurant industry can be very rewarding and can pay well if you work where the tips are good and you know how to be cheerful, welcoming and accommodating.
