Chapter Summary

Foodservice careers fall into one of two categories: service and food preparation. There are also management opportunities, including research chef, food scientist, catering director, kitchen manager, and executive chef. Non-management jobs include cashiers, cooks, servers, sous chefs, and hosts. To prepare for a foodservice career, you will need a solid high school education and experience in a part-time, entry-level foodservice job. There are also opportunities for entrepreneurs to own food production and restaurant businesses.
