Why don't you try corporate dining? I manage 11 employees. My place does about 80k a month. My sales are good. I got some staff issues but that's not really uncommon. I work 6am-5pm m-f. I still have a life and most importantly I still have my wife. You'd get to make your own menus. (Depends on the company) You run about 36-38% food cost and go home every night feeling good. As for the catering thing. Sure you can get ok wages. Prep all day Friday which I loved. Work the parties still get home at 1-2am and you'd feel the same way. The one thing that bugged me the most about restaurants. You get home at 1-2am can't get to sleep till 3am or so. Get up at 10-11am. Then you have about an hour or 2 do laundry, eat, change your oil, go shopping for food cause when you come home at 1am there's know way in **** your going to leave and go to Vons for some milk & cereal... anyways I know your pain! ps. The kid’s right out of school should just not read this thread. IMO Some love it. Some love it for years on end. Then get old and well... you get old. gl mang!
