We know that chefs have relatively fixed working hours. For example, they are busy from 11: a.m. to 2: p.m., and then from 4: to 9: p.m., but other than these hours, chefs may have been resting and waiting for work, because the epidemic has more or less affected the chef industry. Finding a sideline can really improve their quality of life.

There are many similar examples around me. My first recommendation is definitely to teach cooking on short video software. Now more and more people teach cooking on short video. No matter whether chefs want such a piece of action, some people teach home cooking, some people teach pasta, and some people teach western food, etc. After all, we don't know whether short video software is a long-term solution or a flash in the pan, so we can actually seize this opportunity and make some money appropriately to lay a more solid foundation for the future.

As the old saying goes, hungry craftsmen will never die in drought years.

I have a friend who is a chef in a small restaurant. Because of the epidemic, the restaurant business is not very good. There may be only three or two tables of guests every day. The boss has been maintaining it. He also had the idea of sharing a piece of short video with a low salary, so he cooperated with the boss to teach cooking. Later, he slowly accumulated tens of thousands of fans through his own efforts, and he could earn thousands of dollars more every month on the basis of his original salary. If he advertised,

It should be noted that if you are a short video expert, you can't do it by one person. At least 2-3 people are suitable. After you learn to edit by yourself, one person will take pictures, one person will fill the light and one person will cook. perfect!

If you don't want to make short videos, you may be a person who doesn't like being photographed. You can be a part-time delivery person for take-out or express delivery.

among take-out and express delivery, I suggest express delivery, because take-out is definitely the busiest and the easiest to receive orders. After the meal, there is actually not much order, so there is no need to work part-time. Maybe a full-time take-out clerk can digest these orders, but express delivery is different. Whenever the courier always delivers the express on the road during the day, they will stop to rest if you have a meal.

then if you think that the time flexibility of delivery and express delivery is not enough, and there is no chance to earn extra money, you can consider making some convenient and ready-to-eat foods such as braised pork or kimchi yourself. When you don't need to work in a restaurant, make good use of flexible time to set up stalls outside to earn extra money, and night market sales are the most suitable.

With the coming of summer, pickled chicken feet have become an appetizing food. Let's use pickled chicken feet to figure out how much you can earn by selling snacks:

I'll calculate it for you according to our price. If you prepare 2 kilograms of chicken feet, you will need about 15 yuan to buy chicken feet according to the wholesale price of 6-8 yuan a catty, plus various seasonings, such as lemon, vinegar, salt and sugar.

If we remove the bones and add soup to 1 kg of boneless chicken feet, we can probably produce the same amount of chicken feet. At present, it may be cheaper to sell 2 kg of boneless chicken feet for 8 yuan, but our cost is only 2 yuan. If the chicken feet with bones are about 3 yuan a catty and the chicken feet with bones are 2 kg, we can make money properly.

As a chef, as long as you know a recipe, you can make money from it, but you should be careful not to use the ingredients in the restaurant for personal gain, which is easy to be criticized by the leaders and more likely to lose your job!

These are my personal opinions on the sideline of chefs. I hope my ideas can really help you. Thank you!
