I am pretty sure that it would be okay as long as you don't make up stuff and say that it is true. Good luck.

Yes you certainly can - but be careful not to name specific persons or places, or even franchises if you do not want legal repercussion.
i think there is a lot to tell about working in such places and it should be exposed.
Publishers will have their legal people check it over for libel anyway, so if it makes good reading, go for it.

It's legal.
The only way it's illegal is if it's someone else's book or you know they were planning the same thing and you took all their ideas, OR if you claim it's all true when it's not (you could be sued for libel - the written word version of slander).

Of course it's legal. Just don't name names. Quite a few 'fiction' books are actually autobiographical.

Sure its legal, you just cant name the places or give real names of people with any of their personal information.

yes. refer to "Nickel and Dimed: on (Not) Getting By in America" by Barbara Ehrenreich, it's based on the same thing. you just have to change names and places to prevent lawsuits.

Make it either a fictional piece or a satire.
That would keep you from being sued.

Sure you can, you probably just can't give secret recipes of menu items if you know them.
