Restaurant Jobs/Fast food places for a teen?

Okay so I’m a 17 yr old in Orange Park, Fl. I’m about to turn 18 in March, and I don’t have a job yet. I have always heard that working in fast food places is quick and easy, then again working in restaurants is complicated, but you get good pay and the fellow employees are easy to get along with. What I want to know is, which one is better? Should I find some nearby Taco Bell to work in? Or would a restaurant be better? What are the minimum pay I would get? What Likely position?Any suggestions for both, and why I should work there would be great. I really need a job !( any advice on making a restaurant job easier for me)

im not familiar with the restaurants in your location, but here are a few words of wisdom. Fast food should be no problem getting a job, and is usually easy, but it can really suck, your pay will be at least 7.25 if not more but that’s it. Not really any incentive to do a better job than the other workers except to keep your job and maybe get more hours than the rest of the crew, but you maybe a student that can’t work that many hours to begin with. Now full service restaurant would be considered a better job, as far as pay it depends on the position. Cooks, dishwashers, prep cooks are paid hourly. Now a server or bartender(which you are to young to be) get paid like 2.13 an hour but you get tips. A host or hostess gets paid hourly (min. wage) but they get tip out from the servers. I used to wait tables at a steakhouse in birmingham and i would make about $500 – 600 a week. Now i will tell you restaurants get very chaotic at times. I don’t know what kind of person you are but if you are clean cut, courteous, and personable i would try to get a serving job at a nice restaurant. But one thing that will hurt you at the moment is there are so many people looking for jobs right now and your lack of experience. With so many applicant and business being slower than pre recession days managers have the luxury to be very choosey in who they hire.
