Steps to take to start your career as a Server and other jobs like it

  • Consider starting as a hostess or busser in the restaurant you would like to work at. Take this time to get to know the restaurant, and share your interest in moving up.
  • You will interact with customers regularly. Being friendly, attentive, and able to handle customer complaints professionally is essential. In addition, good time management, memorization, multi-tasking and being able to work on your feet for many hours is also needed.
  • Consider the difference between a stand alone restaurant and a corporate chain. If you are considering staying in the Restaurant industry for your career, find a company that may allow growth not only as a manager, but in training for new restaurant openings and corporate positions. Additional skills may be required.
  • Applying to a new restaurant opening is a way to start out without prior experience. Having a glowing personality, along with the skills needed for this line of work could get you a position in the restaurant.
