You walk into a restaurant ready to experience the sights, smells and dance of life. Immediately you are greeted by a sour faced unhappy individual who is unhappily earning a living in their parent’s restaurant. The dream of owning and working in a restaurant is not theirs. They are here presumably because they are still going to school or worse yet, have completed school and are unable to find a job in anything that is not restaurant related.
Restaurant owners need to evaluate whether having their children work in their restaurants is good for business? Yes you might save some money on payroll and they can help in a pinch, however if your child is not happy working for you, they will communicate that displeasure to the guests you have spent your lifetime nurturing.
