5 Reasons You Should Work In Catering And Hospitality
The hospitality and catering industry is constantly growing and changing, which is why it’s perfect for anyone looking for an interesting future career. We’ve put together our top reasons why you should consider it!
It’s a growing industry always on the look-out for new talent
Hospitality and catering is very broad as an industry, and most importantly it’s a rapidly growing industry. This means that there are plenty of opportunities appearing all the time for people looking to enter the industry.
It’s diverse
From events, front-of-house and cooking in the finest restaurants, to large-scale dinners and niche cuisines, this industry is full of variety. There’s bound to be something to suit everyone, whether you want to cater for the Queen or specialise in seafood.
You are constantly learning and progressing
Nobody in this industry knows it all, and everyone is constantly learning and progressing. You will always be able to gain a new skill or learn about a different part of the industry, so if you want to keep growing throughout your career this industry is perfect.
You might get to travel
An important thing for chefs and anyone working front-of-house is to know the food and everything to do with this, which often involves exploring new places and flavours. This might mean learning to cook Thai food in Thailand, or wine tasting in France to learn the best flavour combinations – the possibilities are endless.
You could go on to own your own business
Hospitality and catering is a great industry to get into if you’ve ever thought of owning your own business. From pop-up stands, to external catering, to your very own restaurant – if you have big ambitions, this is an industry where you can really progress, grow and achieve.
