Not all restaurant manager positions require a college degree. These workers must have shown an ability to handle responsibility. A benefit of hiring these workers is they already know about the restaurant. Most restaurant chains have training programs. Trainees learn all parts of running a restaurant.
Courses cover food preparation and nutrition.
Other classes teach personnel management, record keeping, and report preparation. Training lasts six months to a year. After training, trainees become assistant managers. Applicants for an executive chef job need several years of cooking experience. A degree in cooking from an institute or community college is suggested.
