This is the horrible fact of our industry, you are either overworked or underworked. I am fortunate enough to work 30-35 hours a week for decent pay, and live a modest life while my wife is getting ready to go back to school. My Chef is salaried, don't know what he makes, and works ridiculous hours. Now that we have some more cooks to replace a couple of the ones he had to fire he, gets 2 days a week off. But only because he refuses to let the owner open us up on sundays
