2. Fry Cooks

A career as a fry cook can be something one might consider. A fry cook has an extremely important job in the workplace. The job description sounds like a simple one, and in a way it can be. A fry cook mostly fries food, as the name implies.

Fry cooks can work in any type of restaurant setting. Fry cooks are popular jobs in fast food restaurants, where french fries and onion rings are fried practically all the time. Many restaurants serve fried foods as appetizers, sides that need to be fried, and even main entrees that require fry cooks to make them. Fry cooks may begin their salary at minimum wage, but can quickly make more if they are employed in the right place. A fry cook may have other responsibilities as well, such as simple preparation of food, preparing the batters that food will be fried in, and more. They may also have cleaning duties, especially the job of cleaning the fryer and replacing the oil. A fry cook can almost always start with no experience necessary.

3. Sauce Cooks

A sauce cook can usually be found in a more upscale restaurant. They are the cooks that are responsible for preparing all the different sauces that complement the entrees and dishes being sold. These may include the making of Alfredo sauces, marinara and spaghetti sauces, pestos, hollandaise, duck sauce, meat sauces, and much more. A sauce cook will also be responsible for preparing simpler sauces, such as gravies, garlic butters, barbeque sauces, and more Sauce cooks may also be the ones who do the preparation of stocks for soups and thickening agents for the main chef’s cooking needs.

A sauce cook may also prepare condiments if they are needed for their restaurant. These may include homemade dressings such as Italian and ranch. Sauce cooks may prepare dressings that go with desserts; for example, maple and chocolate sauces for specialty pastries. In some restaurants, the sauce cook may also prepare the different soups of the day. A sauce cook can expect to make a decent wage per hour, although this can vary greatly depending on the type of restaurant where they work. There are many jobs available for sauce cooks, and many will offer a competitive salary. Those who work in a more upscale restaurant will find better positions at a better salary, and the possibility to receive promotions and/or pay raises for excellent work.

4. Executive Chefs

A career as an executive chef can be both lucrative and rewarding. An executive chef may or may not do a lot of cooking, depending on the restaurant. Executive chefs typically oversee the kitchen staff, scrutinize the preparation of all foods and cooking, and perform manager duties. They generally make sure that the kitchen and staff are running efficiently and smoothly, and that all food is going out to specification. They may also have a wide variety of other responsibilities, as well. They may be responsible for, or at least have a large part in, the planning and writing of menus. Executive chefs may help with budgeting and pricing of the entrees and other foods being served. They may not only supervise the staff, but have a hand in the hiring and recruiting of new kitchen staff, as well as any firing. An executive chef may also keep detailed records of food costs, help with payroll, and actively participate in the research of the ever-changing trends in the food industry.

A career as an executive chef can be a great one. As an executive chef, one must have the needed people skills to deal with employees. Strong communication and leadership skills are a must, as well as the ability to multi-task. Accounting skills are definitely a plus if the job description requires work in food costs. Jobs for executive chefs may also require a degree in culinary arts, or at least experience as a cook or chef. Executive chefs may be employed by many fine, upscale restaurants, as well as hotels and country clubs. Their salary may also be quite substantial, depending on experience and place of employment. A career as an executive chef will almost always require a college degree in the culinary arts.
