As of January 12, 2020, chefs earn roughly 5,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan a month, depending on different restaurants, different positions, different benefits, and so on.

Most of the chefs are on a commission system, which means that the chef's daily wage is linked to the good or bad of the fried food, and if the food goes wrong and is complained about by the customers, the money will definitely be deducted and fined. Experienced chefs usually seek stability rather than speed, and they know that it's easy to make mistakes if you're fast. Only novice chefs are often docked.
