The Hospitality industry can be divided into different segments by the type of food and/or services provided. Some segments can be further subdivided. For example, restaurants are usually segmented into three categories: quick service, casual dining, and fine dining, with big differences among the three. So, while there are chefs working in all three of these types of restaurants, their job duties, pay, and benefits vary widely. Similarly, the same job in different segments might look very different and lead to very different places.
