Employers often seek candidates with 8-10 years of experience due to the assumption that they possess a deeper understanding of the industry, proven track record, and ability to handle various challenges. However, it's important to acknowledge that extensive experience might not always be necessary for certain roles. In the hospitality industry, particularly in the restaurant business, the remuneration often does not reflect the profitability of the sector. Despite the potential for high earnings, salaries tend to remain low, coupled with demanding working hours and limited time off. Additionally, there is a prevalent issue of poor behavior from superiors, which can create a challenging work environment.

Stay Encouraged Stewarding Manager There Is More During the day, especially during work, one's mind is filled with various thoughts. Working in Stewarding sometimes leads to contemplating why one continues in this role. For some, it's a genuine enjoyment of the job, for others, it might be about financial necessities, or it could be seen as a stepping stone in one's career, opening doors to future opportunities. It's essential for Stewarding managers to acknowledge that the skill required to support a large group of people and ensure they have everything they need in a conducive work environment goes beyond what is typically considered an entry-level position or average ability. Facing the daily challenge of going to a job where your efforts might not be valued or appreciated can be daunting. Stewarding managers often navigate through language and cultural barriers, yet they persist, playing a crucial role in fulfilling the mission. These managers learn to adjust, adapt, and overcome challenges to keep moving forward. Some people in high positions, with formal educational qualifications, may not possess the stamina or capacity to handle the day-to-day tasks that Stewarding managers do. This observation isn't meant to belittle anyone. Rather, it's to highlight the greatness within Stewarding managers and the immense potential they have to achieve even more. Interestingly, Stewarding managers are responsible for overseeing the entire food and beverage department, yet they might not always have the authority that matches this responsibility, or they might not be seen as equals to others in positions with fewer responsibilities. Specifically to those Stewarding managers who feel underappreciated or unrecognized, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you. It's important to realize that you are not less and you don't have to feel inadequate. You are more than enough, and you should never stop believing in yourself and what you can achieve. Remember, being a Stewarding manager is what you do, not who you are. So, keep dreaming, keep being creative. The future might be uncertain, but your value and what you bring to the table are constant. As a Stewarding manager, you are capable of more and deserve all you can accomplish.  Keep living

The Undervalued Excellence of the Executive Steward The scope of responsibilities for an Executive Steward is as comprehensive as those in higher positions. This role encompasses fundamental tasks such as scheduling, handling finances, placing orders, overseeing managers and staff, and conducting training. It requires a thorough understanding of the business and a knack for innovation and creativity in addressing challenges. Interestingly, the Executive Steward plays a pivotal role in supporting the entire food and beverage team, including catering and banquets. Yet, there's no dedicated team to support the Stewarding department.  These professionals often undertake driving, operating machinery, making deliveries, and ensuring sanitation, cleanliness, organization, and maintenance of back-of-house areas. Some even coordinate with third-party venues and liaise with health and fire departments. This position demands excellent communication skills, project management abilities, the capacity to meet deadlines, and the skill to forge successful paths for their division while being available to meet various demands. My intention is not to lament but to foster understanding. Executive Stewards, your worth transcends mere acknowledgment; you possess the skills and capability equal to those in higher echelons. Knowledge is about evolution and advancement, so never feel confined by your current situation. It's striking that some consider the role adequate for service yet insufficient for authority and respect, attributing this to an alleged skill deficit. Remember, it's not about others' perceptions of you, but your own self-view. Maintain your dignity, stay undeterred, continually enrich your mind, and remain open to new opportunities. Do not hesitate to advocate for a role that contributes significantly, deserving of respect and attention, and not to be underestimated due to arbitrary classifications. You have immense value and are just as important and capable as those you support and serve. Stand tall, Executive Steward; your contributions are worth celebrating. You are worth celebrating. Continue to learn, continue to grow, and continue to be excellent. Keep Living
