Levels

Level	Title	Salaries	Days	Time	Requirements	Description
1	Kitchen Scullion	§25/hour base §40/hour pension	Mon Tue Fri Sat Sun	3pm-9pm	Mood Cooking (1-3)	The life of a Kitchen Scullion is a fraught with orders from snooty chefs in the midst of flame-filled kitchens. A little cooking knowledge, not to mention a warm attitude in the presence of cold patrons, will do wonders for you as an aspiring chef.
2	Spice Runner	§32/hour base §50/hour pension §300 bonus	Mon Tue Fri Sat Sun	3pm-9pm	Mood Cooking (1-4)	The modern spice trade is here and you are at the helm. A dash of paprika, organic sea salts, and just the right amount of cayenne can change any dish for the better… or worse! It’s all about the right spice at the right time in the life of a Spice Runner.
3	Vegetable Slicer	§39/hour base §60/hour pension §384 bonus	Mon Tue Fri Sat Sun	3pm-9pm	Mood Cooking (2-6) Boss	Slicing and dicing the freshest produce with razor sharp cutlery is dire duty, but someone has to do it. It’s time for you to warm up to the boss, because from here on out it’ll take just a pinch of schmooze to perfect the dish that is your career.
4	Ingredient Taster	§47/hour base §70/hour pension unknown bonus	Mon Tue Fri Sat Sun	3pm-9pm	Mood Cooking (3-7) Boss Co-workers	Someone clearly respects your taste, which means many arduous mouthfuls to stomach the role of the Ingredient Taster. Bring the charm along with the apron, because how co-workers evaluate you will ultimately determine your role in the restaurant.
5	Line Cook	§84/hour base §110/hour pension §600 bonus	Mon Tue Fri Sat Sun	3pm-8:30pm	Mood Cooking (4-8) Boss Co-workers	Meals are finally being put squarely in your hopefully capable hands. As a Line Cook, you’re tasked with a dish from start to finish, and there’s nobody to blame for bad peas… but you! The heat of the kitchen has never been hotter and it’s a recipe for disaster if you aren’t careful.
6	Pastry Chef	§108/hour base §150/hour pension §1,281 bonus	Mon Tue Fri Sat Sun	3pm-8:30pm	Mood Cooking (5-9) Boss Co-workers	After countless recipes filled with succulent, savory tastes, it’s time to work from the sweeter side of the kitchen. Delicate, flaky desserts and scrumptiously sugared breakfast tarts are the order of the day for Pastry Chefs. Keep rolling the dough to start rolling in the dough.
7	Sous-Chef	§124/hour base §130/hour pension unknown bonus	Mon Fri Sat Sun	3pm-8:30pm	Mood Cooking (6-9) Boss Co-workers	As a Sous Chef, you must step back from the intriguing flavors and tackle the sour issues of kitchen management. The orders now come up top and customers are waiting for their meal, so satisfy all, or go home hungry and empty-handed.
8	Executive Chef	§150/hour base §150/hour pension unknown bonus	Tue Fri Sat Sun	3pm-8pm	Mood Cooking (7-10) Boss Co-workers	Now that you’re an Executive Chef, you must constantly improve the menu, meet the special requests of special guests, and determine the course of the restaurant. Some employees might disintegrate like a poorly constructed pie crust under the pressure, but that’s just how the cookie crumbles.
9	Chief de Cuisine	§201/hour base §150/hour pension unknown bonus	Fri Sat Sun	3pm-8pm	Mood Cooking (7-10) Boss Co-workers	Every restaurant that seeks to succeed must have a vision and food that deliciously inspires its patrons. The Chef de Cuisine must cultivate these culinary tendencies and let no Sim or untoward flavor stand in their way!
10	Five-Star Chef	§350/hour base §200/hour pension unknown bonus	Fri Sat Sun	3pm-7pm	Mood Cooking (9-10) Boss Co-workers	Without peer, your Sim is in charge. As a celebrity Five-Star Chef, you are the face of the restaurant. People read your books, watch you on TV, and dream of sampling your culinary masterpieces. There isn’t a single spice, flavor, or combination of sweet and sour that you haven’t contemplated and perfected. You are the master of the kitchen!
