Let children do the work they like within their ability, and then they will do it well. This is the firm belief of Lu Se Anna, the founder of "Children's Experimental Restaurant" in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Since the establishment of 1983, more than 2,000 children have worked in this restaurant.

Everyone is lonely.

This restaurant is unique in the world, and the work of all departments in the restaurant is undertaken by children, which is truly worthy of the name. Managers, chefs, buyers, cashiers, waiters and other positions are responsible for children aged 6 to 12. They are independent, collecting money, shopping, cooking, serving, cleaning, and managing the whole restaurant in an orderly way.

All teaching AIDS and equipment, such as tables, chairs, stools, plates, etc. All the people who are trained in the experimental restaurant are "little guys" suitable for children. The "experimental restaurant" is open one day a week and can receive 30 parents and guests who come to eat at a time. Less than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the "little chefs" have already arrived. When everyone is seated, let's have a cup of hot coffee together, then discuss the menu ourselves and assign work. Some are responsible for cooking, others are responsible for laying tablecloths and setting tables and chairs. The operating procedures are orderly and not sloppy at all. They all wear white clothes and look really like "authentic" chefs. Of course, the dishes cooked in the restaurant are relatively simple, but the tone of their introduction is not simple: "We must pay attention to the balanced nutrition and fresh materials in the dishes we cook. We never use canned food. "

Learn nutrition knowledge

When talking about her idea of starting this restaurant, Anna told People: "The purpose of starting a children's restaurant is to let children know more about their parents' hard work through their own labor, and they must take responsibility for their parents and society when they grow up. "This restaurant not only provides a kitchen for children who are interested in cooking, but also relieves some parents of the responsibility of' supervising the kitchen', and also carries out enlightenment education on food nutrition knowledge, such as dividing food into four categories: cereals, meat, dairy products and vegetables and fruits.

Customers keep flowing.

Because the restaurant is unique and operated by children, it is very attractive and has a constant stream of customers. Every business hour, the restaurant is crowded with people coming and going. It's not easy to eat here. You must reserve a seat three months in advance. On the other hand, not all children can work in children's restaurants. They must be selected first and then trained for a period of time before they can take up their posts. Working hours are four weeks. It is a very glorious and proud thing that children are willing to serve here.

I hope I can help you! ^_^
