Good work ethic essential if you want to succeed

CATERING is not for everyone. It is hard work. Shifts can be long, kitchens very hot, tasks repetitive.

A passion for cooking helps, and a good work ethic is essential to succeed.

Entry-level jobs aren’t going to make you rich and the shifts will likely include giving up your weekends and evenings. But the upsides are huge — pride in your work, satisfaction, constantly learning, progression, the creativity of cooking and the camaraderie of working in a supportive team.
