>> Someone with a business degree, they have
that kind of broad understanding of all aspects

00:00:04.616 --> 00:00:09.156 A:middle
of restaurants, really lends itself
well for the hospitality industry.

00:00:09.596 --> 00:00:12.816 A:middle
And then from there you could
always on something.

00:00:12.886 --> 00:00:18.276 A:middle
So, a lot of the people that work with
me, they come in with a business degree.

00:00:18.606 --> 00:00:22.666 A:middle
Let's say they have a focus in
customer services or a focus in HR.

00:00:23.186 --> 00:00:25.876 A:middle
It's very easy for them to
transition into those positions

00:00:25.876 --> 00:00:27.836 A:middle
because it's a lot of hands-on training.

00:00:27.886 --> 00:00:31.916 A:middle
It does help to have experience on the
floor, whether that be in the kitchen

00:00:31.916 --> 00:00:34.756 A:middle
or on the service level of the restaurant.

00:00:34.996 --> 00:00:39.976 A:middle
Because you're faced with unique problems
and issues, you know, in a restaurant.

00:00:40.286 --> 00:00:44.116 A:middle
And being able to show that you understand
what those are and that you're able

00:00:44.116 --> 00:00:50.906 A:middle
to apply your skills to those
situations really helps our decision

00:00:51.526 --> 00:00:53.346 A:middle
in recruiting for the corporate office.

00:00:53.866 --> 00:00:58.986 A:middle
If a student wanted to do what I'm doing,
which is overseeing a lot of operations,

00:00:58.986 --> 00:01:06.086 A:middle
the administration of all the restaurants,
they need to know certain hard skills.

00:01:06.126 --> 00:01:09.096 A:middle
So you need to know Excel, to know
PowerPoint, because you're going

00:01:09.096 --> 00:01:12.536 A:middle
to be getting those sent to you every day.

00:01:12.536 --> 00:01:16.026 A:middle
You're going to be looking at
people's PowerPoints and critiquing it.

00:01:16.026 --> 00:01:17.786 A:middle
You need to be looking at financial statements.

00:01:17.946 --> 00:01:22.566 A:middle
And if you don't know how to read a
financial statement, you're in trouble.

00:01:22.566 --> 00:01:27.146 A:middle
So, you need those things in order to
manage people and what they're doing.
