The team behind every meal
It takes a whole team to run a restaurant, and this puzzle gathers their jobs. You'll be finding the CHEF leading the KITCHEN, the line COOK and PASTRY baker beside the oven, the WAITER and WAITRESS (also called the SERVER) out front, and the HOST who greets you at the door.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Restaurant Jobs word searches are the same. One round a backwards DISHWASHER hides in a corner; the next a diagonal SOMMELIER appears across the middle.
From the kitchen to the table
Every role keeps the place running, and the words are here. The BARISTA makes the coffee and the BARTENDER mixes the drinks, the BAKER fires up fresh bread, and the BUSSER clears the tables. Out back, the DISHWASHER keeps the plates clean and the CLEANER keeps the floor spotless, while the MANAGER and CASHIER handle the MENU, the ORDERS and the bill. Everyone wears an APRON, does plenty of CHOPPING, and hopes for good TIPS at the end of a busy shift.
It's a great fit for a jobs or community-helpers topic. Tracking down S-O-M-M-E-L-I-E-R turns spelling practice into a tour of the restaurant.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
