Need 2-3 letters of recommendation for a summer internship
2 are professors at my college, 1 was going to be the owner of the biggest fine dining restaurant in town. (I used to bartend there and the company where I intern always had meetings there).
Go to ask for letter of recommendation and the owner is on vacation for 2 weeks.
Should I just get the assistant manager/head chef to write one instead? I'm worried about waiting too long and this internship opportunity might go away. But I also would love to have the owner of the fine dining restaurant be the one who gives me the recommendation vs the assistant manager/ head chef. But I suppose having anybody from that restaurant will look good, even if it's not directly from the owner.
What should I do? Wait 2 weeks for the owner or settle for second in command to write me the letter of recommendation? There is no time table for how long this internship will last
no. get the letters now. it doesn't matter who signs it for the simple reason that the process may take longer than a couple of weeks, and if they do decide to call the joint, you can put don the bosses contact details down too. they may talk to him then.

okay thanks, I'll go tomorrow and get the assistant manager to write me up one and I'll just put the boss down as a reference contact and hopefully they don't get confused why I didn't get a letter from the boss but hopefully they can just ask me that and I can explain
