Left a corporate career, looking for a restaurant gig. How should I set up my resume for a waiter.

Fairly self-explanatory. I’m 41 and had a successful career in tech. Managed teams and handled budgets for various departments. All in NYC (where I still live). I got extremely burnt out and threw the towel in. No longer interested in the rat race. Thankfully my career and hard work provided me some savings.

And when I thought about “what’s next” I always found joy in cooking and hospitality. Which is why I am considering a career shift. Heck I don’t even think I would mind starting at the bottom and working my way up. Any kind of restaurant. Could be a mom and pop, Michelin, or a slice shop.

My only reservation is my resume is not matched to restaurant experience. I’m not sure if “lead a 12 person marketing team with $5M ad spend annually” translates well to a waiter position.

As restaurant owners, what sort of a resume would you want to see from somebody with my experience?

Thanks in advance.
