Fast food cooks are engaged mostly in fast food restaurants. Their duties are to prepare, cook and package food items from a restricted menu.
 Fast food cooks should work quickly and efficiently, have a well-developed sense of taste and smell, good personal hygiene, and be ready to work as a part of a team. The good knowledge of a foreign language that helps to communicate with other workers is appreciated.
The highest hourly earnings are received in special food services, and the lowest hourly earnings are got in limited-service eating places.
Usually, no or minimal training or education is recommended for becoming a fast food cook. Those, who want to become a cook, should have a high-school diploma. The training of fast food cooks includes such knowledge as basic sanitation and safety, food handling and cooking techniques.
The amount of fast food cooks will increase up to 2012. Fast food cooks have limited duties, thus, they work as combined serving and food preparation workers too.
