I worked 80 hours a week, 7 days straight for 6 weeks without any days off or break time. Am I obligated to overtime? What can/should I do?
Nope.
You accepted the salary. Now you have to deal with it.
I think Denny’s pays their cooks by the hour.
i receive an offert to be the chef of one of the top restaurant in calgary…they offer me 50 000$ a year plus 10 000$ tips net and 7 000$ moving companssation….is this enought for 5 days a week at 12 hrs a day……or should I refuse
no seriously people are making 16 $ an hrs a tim horton…u joke i sleep trought calgary 5 years ago…did’nt look like that
Calgary, no. You will not be able to afford good housing unless your wife makes the same or better. Calgary is out of control. If you are a great chef and in fact it is a top restaurant, you should be demanding min $75-80.000, and $10.000 in moving expenses. They can’t even keep Timmies cashiers at 16 bucks and hour…
I have no idea, but you can find salary comparison tools on Monster and on paywizard.org. I’m using them right now to put together my case for a payrise 
What is the average cost of living for a batchelor in Banglore and for a couple ? Please help me decide ….how much I can save per month with a take home salary of 23000 rs?
Not much. Maybe 3000 rs.
I like both of them equally so which career would you recommend me to apply a course in university?
it actually depends on how good you are at it.both are good enough to even get you into a millionaire- if you are that good!!
you should do what really really like.i know its hard to choose.you can be both if really want it but thats double work!!!
i have the same problem too…..i dont know if i should be a fashion designer,author or an athlete.
a chef and a fashion designer are almost the same.it depends on how good you are and where you work.
GOOD LUCK:)
my boyfriend has culinary training, and currently works for a hotel as the food and bev supervisor. he is thinking about taking a job as the seux chef at the hotel, if the pay is right. does anyone know what a seux chef gets paid on average? thanks!

sorry, the spell check didn’t say anything about the spelling… and he is already creating menus and making them happen.
basically, i need to know if it would at least equal a $16/hr job
Sous chef (note the spelling! literally "under chief.") would be a step up from his current position, and is the next step to executive chef. This assumes his ambition is in actually running a kitchen and creating the menus.
Pay varies wildly depending on city, type of restaurant/hotel and location of same.
Myself, if I were to "go pro,", a sous chef position would be something special.
EDIT: I wouldn’t accept $16/hr. Assuming an 8 hour day (HA!) I’d want a minimum of $18, but would be looking for a guarantee of bumps to $19 then $20 at 3-4 month intervals with a renegotiation after a year. Plus benefits; sick time, vacation and health care. Profit sharing and a 401(k) would be nice, but aren’t a deal breaker.
All this is assuming that we’re talking about a "good" restaurant.
Go to salary.com. It’s genearlly overpriced by about 10% (because it uses information reported by people who tend to overstate what they make) but gives you a good idea. Average base salary for Executive Chef in Boston is about $80,000.
For a year.
As of like September 2004, when you first start off its lke $57,524.
I know if I wanted too work in a resort or something I would have to go to school for it….
but I just want to open my own bakery in cali
and hire someone that has gone to school for it
but also do some of the work myself
is there anyway I can find a pastry chef train under
I mean not to get paid for working for them
just do it to pick up some skills
My fiancee told me to do whatever I wanted
and his father said he would pay for my schooling
but I dont want to do that
what do you think?
I am a former chef myself, and training with a good pastry chef is essential, and school is to, I would train with the pastry chef now, and in a few years go to school, here in Canada we use the same type of system as the Europeans, it is called and apprenticeship, were you work, go to school, work and go to school again, fill the rest of the required time for your period of qualification, then write an exam and get a certificate for the trade.
Now in the US it is different, so work a few years get the training, and then let your fiancees father pay for your schooling the pre school training will give you an advantage over the others.
My partner and i have always discussed moving close to the sea, we both love the sea. We love Melbourne, but would love a change, not immediately as we need to find the right area. We have always planned to retire by the sea, but melbourne is becoming too hectic, battling peak hour on roads is crazy etc, we would love to do the change sooner than retirement (we are no where near retirement age), hopefully in next 1-4 years.
Any suggestions of nice coastal towns in Victoria, that are not largely populated, reasonable real estate prices, employment opportunities for a chef and nurse and will need to consider kindergarten/school for baby son in a few years.
Would prefer to stay away from major tourist towns, but would appreciate any ideas for us to look in to. Distance from Melbourne is not an issue.
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions.
Port Fairy,a beautiful little place with friendly people.
