 * Dish Washer
 * You have to start somewhere, and in the restaurant industry, it's right at the bottom. But if you analyze the dirty dishes carefully, you'll learn EXACTLY what people like and don't like. Wash...and learn.

 * Host
 * If you never see another burger again, it'll be too soon. Now you're out of the kitchen, seating people and managing tables in a restaurant where people expect REAL food for the prices they're paying. Keep your eyes open and your smile painted on as you start learning about the industry-it's a dog-eat-food world out there, and you'll want to be well prepared.

 * Prep Cook
 * You've memorized everything on the menu and managed to work your way into a position as a Prep Cook. It's not glamorous, but it's real kitchen work - and you look stylin' in that big white hat! Get comfortable with the slicing, dicing and julienne fries - you're not going to get any farther in this industry if you don't know your basic cooking inside and out.

 * Sous Chef
 * It's ironic that the more accomplished you become, the less you actually touch the food. As Sous Chef you're spending most of your time as a manager and cheerleader for your kitchen staff. If you want to keep moving up, you'll have to prove you've got the eccentric creativity needed to create novel dishes. Bon appetit!
