Would you rather work in a place that’s always slammed but tips are great, or somewhere slower with chill shifts but half the money? I’ve done both, and honestly I can’t decide which one drains me more.

Always being busy is great for my wallet, but it would be hard to know every shift will be like that. Kind of depends on whether or not things run smoothly or if it’s just a dumpster fire every time.

Definitely would take the money. Better tips = better life outside work.

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken). My idea is to start my own small brewery which only produces alcohol free beer as a bit of a pendant to the booming local craft beer industry. Any thoughts on that idea or someone who has experience in the market?

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?
