I think I'm going to be doing this soon. It's pretty much a guaranteed job if I want it. All I have to do is say the word. Would be a good idea I guess to start doing stuff like this before I hit culinary school in a year or two.
So, if anyone has done this before, mind giving me an idea of what to expect? What are the dos and don'ts?
Mostly I know to do what I'm told, and not to ask the head chef too many questions. |

i would never consider this job. i don't know about the pace of the restaurant that you are considering, but at the one that i was a server at, the job was incredibly taxing. like this:
drop steak, pull fries, flip eggs, dip green beans, drop bacon, scramble and drop eggs, timer's going off pull up fries, dip turkey and gravy, i'm out of plates PLATOS POR FAVOR, server's yelling at me, IT IS A HUNDRED FUCKING DEGREES
for ten hours.
pay wasn't that great either, if i remember
i don't have the motor or organizational skills for something like this. but some people do. maybe if you can one-credit gradius or something like that then go for it |
Heat and fast-paced work are not a problem, believe me. I've worked many a job in similar if not worse conditions.
The main reason I'm considering this is because A: my career plan is to be a chef/cook one of these days, and B: I need some monies soonish. |

Yes, I am guessing that someone somewhere at some point in time has indeed been a line cook.
Next question, please. |

The reason I'd rather NOT be a server is because I want to actually work in the kitchen.
To prepare for my career, you know? |

| Also the whole cook lifestyle is incredibly appealing to me. It seems so awesome from afar, but of course I can't say that I've experienced it first hand so I may be quite ignorant! |
