Hospitality Is an Incredibly Skilled Career Choice and I Dare You to Disagree
It takes massive time and effort to excel in this underestimated industry
Just because someone went to college doesn’t mean they know how to open a bottle of wine.
Just because someone’s IQ is above average doesn’t mean being a chef is below them.
Just because someone can do math doesn’t mean they can make a decent cocktail.
Yet this is still what many people think. That hospitality is an unskilled, stop-gap job. That it’s not for you because you’d be wasting your intelligence.
I know first-hand how hard it is to make it in hospitality. How incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent and quick-witted you must be to be considered great.
Make no mistake. Hospitality is a skilled, difficult-to-master career. You can see that by how few good hospo workers there are out there. I mean, when was the last time you encountered genuinely great service?
I’m here to call BS on the whole “hospitality is unskilled” schtick. Because the sooner the world accepts that good hospitality is a true art form, the sooner we can start treating it as the legitimate, amazing career path it is.
