As a chef, you should know that the catering industry is very profitable. Many industries are in recession now, but the catering industry is an exception.

Therefore, the first side business should be related to restaurants.

If you still have free time after get off work, you might as well use it to develop a second career. You can open a snack bar or a late-night snack bar, or you can rent a shop and open a restaurant in a place with a lot of traffic.

Another thing is to find a part-time side job in your hobbies and interests to make your life work-oriented and work-life-oriented.

For example, a young chef I know uses the Internet to do live broadcasts and teach people how to make various dishes and cooking techniques.

Not only did he earn side money, but he also gained countless fans.

After he has fans, he has more and more opportunities to make money through the Internet.

For example, some condiment manufacturers asked him to do live cooking broadcasts, host product launches, etc.

If you don't know the Internet, as long as you like cooking food, you can participate in various cooking competitions or cooking or dish competitions such as Gourmet Masters. After winning the prize, you can increase your worth.

This is also considered a side job.

There are many chefs who like food photography. My old workplace held a food photography competition with a first prize of 10,000 yuan.

This is also a type of side job.

Also, like me, I like writing.

Then you can describe the ups and downs in the world of chefs. After all, chefs are a huge social group, and there are not many literary and artistic works about this. If you can speak for the chef brothers, the social return rate will be very high.
