>> Someone with a business degree, they have that kind of broad understanding of all aspects
of restaurants, really lends itself well for the hospitality industry.
And then from there you could always on something.
So, a lot of the people that work with me, they come in with a business degree.
Let's say they have a focus in customer services or a focus in HR.
It's very easy for them to transition into those positions
because it's a lot of hands-on training.
It does help to have experience on the floor, whether that be in the kitchen
or on the service level of the restaurant.
Because you're faced with unique problems and issues, you know, in a restaurant.
And being able to show that you understand what those are and that you're able
to apply your skills to those situations really helps our decision
in recruiting for the corporate office.
If a student wanted to do what I'm doing, which is overseeing a lot of operations,
the administration of all the restaurants, they need to know certain hard skills.
So you need to know Excel, to know PowerPoint, because you're going
to be getting those sent to you every day.
You're going to be looking at people's PowerPoints and critiquing it.
You need to be looking at financial statements.
And if you don't know how to read a financial statement, you're in trouble.
So, you need those things in order to manage people and what they're doing.
