Things that raise your pay

• Multi-unit management

  Running three or four locations moves you past the top of the wage range.

• Hotel food and beverage

  Bigger operations, banquets and room service, better benefits and pensions.

• Franchise ownership

  Many chains sell locations to proven managers, sometimes with financing help.

• Cost control skill

  A manager who can hold food cost and labour cost down is worth a bonus and gets recruited.

• A second language

  Useful for hiring and leading the mixed teams most Canadian kitchens run on.
