Increasingly they are required to have a knowledge of the science of food and an understanding of diet and nutrition. They work primarily in restaurants, fast food chain store franchises, delicatessens, hospitals  and other institutions. Kitchen conditions vary depending on the type of business, restaurant, nursing home etc.
