I can't decide on the last two for you, but I would definitely not use the first option. If you are targeting restaurant management positions, your most relevant experience in that field should be on your resume.

Hi patrickmcclain,

Great question! Employers in the restaurant industry will likely care most about your restaurant management experience, so it's a good idea to move the relevant work to the forefront of your resume. You can break your experience into categories, like this:

--------------------------------------------------
Restaurant Management Experience
--------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------
Additional Management Experience
-------------------------------------------------
(or describe the type of experience, like Retail Management, etc.)

You can move all of your restaurant management experience to the first section, including your experience from 2 years ago and 17 years ago.

Your qualifications summary can also emphasize your relevant restaurant management positions. Be sure to focus on accomplishments -- employers will want to see how you improved restaurant operations for your previous employers.
