Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe by Email Would you work in a restaurant (be it kopitiam or nasi kandar or Indian restaurant) if offered good salary (more than RM900, chefs can earn RM2,500) and perks like free food, free lodging, SOCSO and EPF deduction? Working hours are long (maybe 12 hours shift) and probably very little days off.
The restaurant operators say Malaysians are not interested, with nasi kandar operators saying less than 60 inquiries for 25,000 vacancies. Why?
How to make it “interesting” or “attractive” to work in restaurant industry?
Why youths prefer to work in fast food outlets or shops in shopping centers? Air-conditioned environment? Cleaner? Structured work? Better customers? More decent?
Let me see, RM700++ is considered poverty rate for household income. Earning nearly RM4000 is considered average family income. So, earning about RM1000 with free food and lodging may be good deal if you are single (married doesn’t help with the lodging part). How about medical coverage and insurance? Overtime pay and 5 days work may be attraction options too. Malaysians need rest and off days for thousand and one reasons – birthday to funeral. Invest in technology to help with cleaning work, dish washing, cooking, POS, billing, etc., will reduce some of the workload.
All this will increase operating cost for business owners. Bottom line, more expensive to dine out.
