Well for one there are many topics that give advice and ideas and opinions on how to start. All you have to do is look around.

Do some research. Like DavidtheCryptic said, there are many threads on this topic.

Also, get Live at the Jailhouse, and research Kirk Charles. He has a book on the subject. Also, the Magic Menu would be worth looking into. You have a lot to learn.

whats the magic menu?

With your smart alek comments to Fallingblood and others there is not many people here whill give you answers. I will tell you that Peter Lansing has written a book called "Making a Living Entertaining in Restaurants." It is available on another site.

I picked up his book a while ago, he did a good job with it. People should listen to him, whoever he is.

thanks paddy i think ill look into that because i am really considering a restaurant job.

Who is this Matt fellow? I suggest you don't listen to his advice, he seems like a jerk...

lol ill keep that in mind

Fatal is still alive? Wow, haven't seen him in a while.

Alive and well, my Newfoundland mate. How have you been? I'll hop on MSN within the next few days and we shall catch up.
