I worked as a hostess at a restaurant when I was 16. Not a bad job at all. There aren't many options for 16 year olds, besides food service. Most retail stores require 18 years of age. A nicer restaurant, that doesn't deep fry and charbroil everything, might work out for you. As a hostess I got a percentage of everyone's tips each night, servers/bartender, and an hourly wage. It was nice to have cash each night, and still look forward to a little paycheck each week.
