According to the National Restaurant Association, there are currently 935,000 restaurants in the United States with 2007 sales forecasted to exceed $537 billion. It's a growing industry, with the average American eating 24 percent of their meals in restaurants.

Restaurants are also one of the easiest places to find employment. Restaurant jobs are generally divided into "front of the house" positions, including hosts, servers, bartenders, bus personnel, and dining room managers, and "kitchen" positions, including chef, sous-chef, line cooks, dishwashers, and prep cooks.

Keep in mind the cyclical nature of the restaurant business when searching for a restaurant job. Most restaurants need extra help before the holiday season. Restaurants in cold weather locations tend to slow down from January - March, whereas restaurants in resort destinations are busy during the beginning of the year and slow down in the summer.
