| 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!
