I first worked for Pizza Hut, back in 1983, and was there for 5 1/2 years. Back then, I started out as a Hostess, then Waitress, then Prep Cook, and Cook. This was in North Division, when they were, still there. I also got my Dough Master, to be able to make and portion out the dough. We also had a salad bar, which we maintained, and changed our, due to it being a salad bar, which required ice, to keep items cold. Later in, we got a refrigerated salad bar. That was much nicer.
