Restaurants are a driving force in Hawaii’s economy. With a combination of matchless beaches, resorts and waterfront properties all hosting an exquisite selection of top restaurants and hospitality establishments, hospitality careers are a supreme. Within this industry, traditional island culture influences most all aspects of business operations, and for most positions in Hawaii previous island management experience is a must.
The restaurants throughout the islands provide jobs and build careers for thousands of local residents each year. In 2013, restaurants accounted for over 85,000 jobs in Hawaii – 14% of employment in the state. With a surplus of island restaurant establishments, a career in hospitality management can lead to great benefits, yet downfalls can often accompany a life in paradise….though for most, the positives far outweigh the negatives of the island lifestyle.
For example, with a career in the islands, the cost of living is higher yet salaries are generally lower than on the mainland, but your tradeoff is residing only a few steps from the beach, mountains, tropical culture and more, which many have found far more valuable than any paycheck.
