Imagine not wanting to work 70 hour weeks for £25k (or whatever he's offering). Snowflakes

Great bit of free advertising for him
I think it is harder to get people to work in hospitality since (a) Brexit and (b) the pandemic due to the work not being strong and stable but weak and wobbly ![]()

I don’t agree cheffing in a pub or restaurant means unsocial hours generally working when everyone else is off, money is not always the factor ..the landlord said himself time off was a major factor in staff not staying

take a look at any of the reality shows based in a chefs kitchen. Some of it will be put on for the camera for sure, but underneath all that, its not an environment for the squeamish

Unsociable hours is not the same thing as being expected to work way more hours than you are being paid for.

I get that some workers can be a nightmare, but in this case he should definitely be paying his workers more.

Do you know this is what has happened? I only scanned the DM article so maybe it is in there somewhere?

There is a big difference in wages for a chef working in a pub kitchen that in a top restaurant

But the salary is still a big part of it , also being treated well. Especially If you are expected to do extra hours. And the chef already has a weird attitude ,if he's advertising by calling potential applicants 'snowflakes' ![]() Last edited by GoldHeart; 01-09-2022 at 03:03 PM. |

No, I read the article and couldn't find out any real info, but that industry is well known for expecting chefs to come in early for prep and leave at the end of service. It's standard practice, but it's a bad practice/work habit that is everywhere.

Wages have been killed for decades. People need realistic incomes not poverty wages to never see their families.

Putting a snowflake into a hot kitchen is asking for trouble. Basic chemistry tells us that.
