Many people still think washing dishes will be low income, but in Singapore this is a job that can bring in a salary of 3500 SGD / month (59 million VND / month). The salary is quite high, but not every restaurant owner can find a job.
Chen Weixin, co-owner of Ishinomaki Grill & Sake restaurant in Orchard Road (Singapore), lamented that due to lack of workers, she had to roll up her sleeves and wash dishes like an employee. None of the employees she met wanted to take on this assignment despite being paid an extra SGD 50/day (850,000 VND/day).
The job of washing dishes does not attract people to do it because it is hard (Artwork).
“Maybe many people consider washing dishes as lowly and are not willing to do it even with money,” said Chen Weixin.
When Chen’s restaurant offered a salary of SGD 3500/month for this job – equivalent to the starting salary of a university graduate in Singapore, they found a Malaysian employee to accept.
Previously, the restaurant had to hire foreign workers to do this work, but the pandemic caused them to return home. Currently, Singapore has relaxed regulations on Covid-19 but tightening labor policies makes it difficult to find people to work.
According to Shin Min Daily News, some restaurants have had to offer a salary of up to S$4,000 per month (VND 67 million) for their dishwasher staff and S$3,000 (VND 30 million) in bonuses to clean dishes. attract employees to work.
Lambert Chen, co-owner of Iko Restaurant and Bar along Neil Road in Singapore, says the job is both demanding and hard, which is why “very few Singaporeans want to take this job”.
Mr. Andrew Tjoe, CEO of Tung Lok restaurant, said he had to hire a company specializing in providing cleaning services to solve this problem. The restaurant pays them from 3,800-4000 Singapore dollars/person (62 million VND – 67 million VND). According to him, hiring a company specializing in providing cleaning services will avoid the worry of having someone wash the dishes or not.
However, from another angle, Mr. Lambert Chen said that if you hire a company specializing in providing cleaning services, the cost will increase.
“The change of dishwashers is frequent, so the standards are not guaranteed,” he said of the view of hiring cleaning company employees. Currently, Mr. Lambert Chen’s restaurant is hiring dishwashers from abroad and the salary is S$2,700/month (VND 45.7 million/month).
According to Mr. Lambert Chen, some companies providing cleaning services have increased prices by nearly 30%. A company recently quoted a salary of S$4900 (VND 83 million) for a cleaner, which is equivalent to a manager’s salary. If they hire a company, it means that the restaurant’s input costs will also increase.
