Whether the kitchen staff can return to their original restaurants after job hopping mainly depends on several factors:

The recruitment policy of the original restaurants: Some restaurants may have specific policies for employees who have left their jobs, and may welcome experienced employees to return, especially if the employees have performed well after leaving their jobs and there is demand in the original restaurants.

personal performance and relationship: if the employee performs well during his work in the original restaurant and has a harmonious relationship with colleagues and management, the original restaurant may consider re-hiring the employee at an appropriate time.

market demand and job vacancies: if there are job vacancies in the original restaurant and the market demand is strong, the possibility of employees returning will increase.

personal career planning: employees' own career planning and development goals will also affect whether they choose to return to the original restaurant. If the original restaurant can provide better development opportunities, employees may consider returning.

management's attitude: management's attitude towards employees' return is also an important factor. If the management is open-minded and willing to accept former employees, then the possibility of employees returning will increase.

Generally speaking, there is no unified answer whether the kitchen staff can return to the original restaurant after job-hopping, which requires comprehensive consideration of personal circumstances, the policies of the original restaurant and market demand. When considering returning, employees can actively communicate with the management of the original restaurant to find out whether there are suitable job vacancies and the possibility of returning.
