Question

Can a 16 year old be a host at a restaurant which is also a bar and on saturdays is opened until 2am?

Answer 1

I'm not sure. I'm almost positive that you cant be a waitress at 16 because you cant serve alcohol. You can't work until 2am because of the Fail Labor Standards Act (FLSA). I'm sixteen and I'm busing at a resturant that has a bar,they just wont let me near the bar. Your best bet is to fill out an application and see if you can get an interview. Hope I helped!! (=

Answer 2

I'm in Ohio and have served alcohol when I was under 18/21.  I couldn't work behind the bar though.

Answer 3

yes but you can't work past 11 or 12 depending on where you live.  also you can't serve alcohol.

Answer 4

I am.

Answer 5

Not in NY. My 16 year old son wanted to work in a restaurant and he was told by several that it is a law in NY that a person must be 18 or older to work in a restaurant that serves alcohol and also, a 16 year old cannot work past 10 pm. Check your local Department of Labor for all the restrictions for teenagers.

Answer 6

Should be able minus the alcohol.

Answer 7

Yes, as long as you don't server alcoholic beverages to any customer.

But some restaurants will not hire you for that responsiblity. Check with your employer.
