Thinking about leaving the restaurant grind for a 9–5? In this episode of The Modern Waiter Podcast, we sit down with former restaurant pro Mateo Rodríguez, who went from back-of-house and bartending to beverage manager and now works at a bank with true banker’s hours. We unpack the real culture shock, lifestyle shifts, money differences, and whether the grass is actually greener outside the service industry.




About the show:

We’ve been sharing real talk from the service industry for 7+ years. This is episode 352 as we kick off Season 8. If you’ve lived the double-shift life, wrestled with weekends and holidays, or wondered whether a corporate role would cage (or free) you, this episode is for you.
