    It's really very hard, in Japan, the chef is a very rigorous profession, and I was a chef who cooked on the spot, and I had to follow the process to make every dish, and the Japanese chefs of my colleagues were very serious and professional, and I felt very stressed every time I cooked, and I was afraid of making mistakes to make customers feel unprofessional.

    1. You can only start with an apprentice, now most Japanese restaurants are short of people, and the job is easy to find, and the general apprentice salary is between 1500 yuan and 2000 yuan, including food and accommodation.

    2. After about 3 years of study, you can almost learn the dishes of each table of Japanese food.

    3. Since you have a certain degree of education, if you can show higher quality and management ability. Generally, the boss will promote you, if you do it, the salary of the kitchen supervisor is about 3,000 yuan, and the salary of becoming a chef is at least 5,000 yuan.

    4. Of course, in the end, if you can be the manager of this store and manage the work of the kitchen and front office well, it is not a problem to earn more than 10,000 yuan.

    When the chef is gone, the restaurant is closing. However, there is no shortage of people with chef certificates, and a fixed number of people receive this levy every year, but it is not necessarily the same number of restaurants in society every year.

    Chefs still have to go to school. Apprentices are now well-spoken in all walks of life, but they are just cheap labor, and you can't get out of it for three or five years. Maybe you've been in school for a year or two and you've earned all that little money back.

    It's better to take a long-term view.
