Is it better to be a food runner at an upscale busy restaurant or a server at a casual cafe bistro?
Asked by theone111
I'm looking for a career as a server/ bartender as a sidejob for my acting career. I live in LA and server jobs are hard to get. I'll make more money as the food runner and i get more shifts, however, I'm afraid to give up the title server, even though its a server at a casual cafe. Which is more prestigious/ will help me towards achieving my future goals?

Best Answer:
Food runner, you will make SOOOO much money!! good luck

a food runner offers more money that's what matters

I don't think a job as a server is going to help you achieve your future goals... unless your goals are to be a server. Why exactly is the title "server" important to you? Personally, I'd go for the job at the higher class restaurant. Not only will you have a chance to meet people who may be able to help you in your career but you will learn a lot about food service, how to act in a fine dining restaurant, things that can help youlater on as you are going out to fancy dinners with directors. Good luck
