Before the start of my career in technology, and for a period of time after it started, I worked in restaurants. I never worked anyplace that was particularly high-end - mostly chain restaurants with a couple of mid-tier independents thrown in. At one time or another, I did pretty much anything one could do in a restaurant - back-of-house, front-of-house, tending bar, server, busser, cook - I was even a meatcutter for a while. Eventually, I began to run them. In that capacity, I was responsible for ordering food and equipment, making schedules, doing financials, analyzing nightly performance, setting prep levels, running shifts, and a lot of other things that I am forgetting after so much time.
