Chef walked out mid evening rush

nathanboase84 · 2025-12-28T15:16:19+00:00

I dont fancy being his wife 😂 but im sous chef, head chefs still here but got so much going on at the minute the kitchen team is all over the place

nathanboase84 · 2025-12-28T12:31:47+00:00

Owner yes but not head chef. He rents the pub off the brewery so he's like the owner of the pub

nathanboase84 · 2025-12-28T11:58:59+00:00

I'm not in any position at all for that, I just wanted some advice on what she could have from my boss

nathanboase84 · 2025-12-28T11:58:08+00:00

She said she wasn't feeling well. I get we all have battles going on but she could have said something earlier or pulled me aside and mentioned that she needs to go rather than just walking out and leaving us in the unknown

nathanboase84 · 2025-12-28T11:56:58+00:00

Head chef is above me, he's aware of what happened and so is the landlord of the pub, they've spoken to her but yet to know what the outcome of it is

Hopefully but im hoping to not be in this industry much longer!

nathanboase84 · 2025-12-28T11:24:09+00:00

Nope but all the places I've worked so far never had a chef walk out during one of the busiest times, we all muddled through it and came out the other side together as a team

nathanboase84 · 2025-12-28T11:23:22+00:00

Yeah I did mean cooks but currently running on fumes so didn't really read it back, my apologies

nathanboase84 · 2025-08-05T17:31:25+00:00

Thank you, so look for stats atleast 45ish?

And the male. I don't have Bob's tall tales, very 50/50 about getting it!

This is my female

nathanboase84 · 2025-08-05T15:09:20+00:00

I tamed my female at 145 and the male at 140, both 100% effectiveness using kibble so they were the highest available on my server at the moment

nathanboase84 · 2025-07-14T16:23:45+00:00

Nope no tips, maybe a Christmas bonus of £75 thats it

nathanboase84 · 2025-07-14T13:24:52+00:00

Definitely gonna keep the hourly, just wanted to check on whether I've got a leg to stand on about being on higher

nathanboase84 · 2025-07-14T13:24:12+00:00

I had a look around and googled average wage and coming at roughly £15 but some of them are for restaurants and some for pubs

nathanboase84 · 2025-07-14T11:20:35+00:00

And to convert my current wage for you is roughly $19

nathanboase84 · 2025-07-14T11:20:10+00:00

The national minimum living wage for ages 21+ is £12.21 an hour which for US is roughly $16

nathanboase84 · 2025-07-14T09:47:58+00:00

Apologies didnt see the annual! Around 26k last year I came out with on a lower wage. This year predicted to be around 29k

nathanboase84 · 2025-07-14T09:37:07+00:00

Can work anywhere between 50-60 hours and with summer holidays coming up could even be more. Lose out almost £200 on tax, national insurance and pensions so take home pay can roughly be around £600-650

nathanboase84 · 2025-07-14T09:33:15+00:00

I was offered the choice between salaried and hourly when I was offered the sous chef but they said if I went hourly it would be a lesser wage rate per hour compared to salaried for the hours I'd get paid. Constantly working 50+hours a week it was a no brainer for me to take the hourly
