I've been working on it for a few seasons.  It can be done.  We will just have to find the right places.

The problem to overcome is that good cooks/bakers/chefs are difficult positions to find qualified candidates in the seasonal field.  On the other hand, there is usually more qualified server applicants than positions.

I'm also willing to do a season or two in housekeeping...and they literally laugh at that.  I was able to do a season in retail...only by going to a place that did not have a kitchen.

Good luck.  I'm trying it again for this winter, I'll let you know if I find a place.

Because cooks are harder to come by than servers....  I would emphasise that if you are interested in a server position, although that will make it harder to get hired. However, if you are persistent, a server position is within easy reach. Also try a mid-season transfer; it is a good way to get back on the floor when the college students go back to school.
