What restaurants hire at 16?? Please Answer??

Question

So i heard that the best bet would be to work as a waitress in a restaurant since they make good tip money. but idk of any restaurants that would hire at 16 since most of them are 18 and over. Do you guys know if any???

btw i live in las vegas idk if that helps lol

Answer 1

At 16, you can't be a waitress because you can't serve alcohol until you are 21 (18 in some states).  However, you can be a host/hostess or even bus tables.  If you want to eventually serve, I would suggest bussing.  It will make you more familiar with how to wait tables once you are old enough.

Also, if the restaurant does not serve alcohol, you can wait tables at 18.

Answer 2

McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, Hardee's, Taco Bell, the list goes on

Answer 3

Nope but try a movie theatre, its wicked cool and you get free movies!

Answer 4

Most states require that wait staff be at least 18 years old if they are to be serving liquor, beer or wine. Your best bet will be to find a restaurant without a liquor license, but, if you can find a place like that, most likely your tips will be less because the overall checks are less when alcohol is not available (as it is more expensive than non-alc bevs). I don't know how Nevada is, but I am pretty sure that you must be 18 to serve. Lots of restaurants will hire 16 and 17 year olds to hostess. You might be able to find a restaurant that tips out to the hosts.
