“I don’t want the same life as before the epidemic” – catering on a forced break



[ad_1]

I have not worked for more than a month, I went down to Szekszárd with my girlfriend and her parents. For a while, I did daily work, worked in the vineyard, dug batteries, pulled cables, but now there is nothing to do. I will be out financially this month, but then I have to reach my reserves. That sucks, that’s why I’m restless

He says brandwho is an III. He worked at a district restaurant, took the bar, but since March 16, they too can only handle delivery and carry food, so there is no need for a waiter or waitress.

Mark is studying English online and has requested training for public programmers, there are no details on the latter yet, but he would definitely like to change.

I would be reluctant to return to hospitality, but I don’t think the change will happen now. I’m afraid everything will be the same as it used to be. Of course, then finally I shouldn’t have to worry about the epidemic, I just don’t want the same life as if nothing happened. I don’t want to go back to normal.

He doesn’t miss Budapest at the moment either, Szekszárd is calmer, he enjoys it. And you’re sick of hospitality.

You can earn good money, but there is no paid vacation, if you go to the tailor, your colleagues will work more for you. Unlike hotels, most restaurants and bars do not have overtime rates. Additionally, those who work in hospitality are reported to strive for their actual number of hours.

Mark’s employer pays for his social security, and if he can’t find another job, he’ll probably go back to the restaurant after my restriction ends.

Attila She also worked as a waitress in a restaurant in Óbuda, has not had a job for more than three weeks. He also applied for two IT courses, but since he never did computer science, he is now studying in advance, trying to prepare. He also runs a lot, learns Spanish in his spare time and is waiting to reopen his job.

He also spoke about the fact that hospitality cannot be seen as a sector where workers advertise adequately. By reimbursing 70 percent of wages for lost work time, he says, the government also provides little help to companies interested in hospitality, only on condition.

Everyone knows that workers are only reported for a minimal amount. A waitress can take home 300,000 forints a month, but only a small part is reported,

however, the government’s hopeful support is aligned with this.

According to Attila, for the moment, it is also about which restaurants and bars will order new products after the reopening: “Each place lives up to its reservations. I think a lot of people will only be able to replenish their stocks with credit. “

I put a lot of things in this

Zoltan opened his dart club on December 13. district, not superstitious, but notes it was Friday. He made his old dream come true, he invested all his saved money in this place, knowing that it would be difficult and a long time until it started. In the first three months, his expenses were not covered by income either, but things started to change slowly, he had returning guests, a team had already trained with them, and one of the Hungarian Dart League competitions was held there. . He planned careers, and then the epidemic hit. Thanks to government measures, you must pay less public money, but you still spend around 70,000 forints a month.

“The landlord is a good boss,” so he doesn’t have to pay the rent, so he figures he can get it out only until the end of summer. But if you can open it again, the scythe will be empty, you will have to cover the drink order, as already mentioned, with a loan.

I’m not a nervous guy, but I’m starting to date now. I put a lot of things in this place.

Zoltán is now working from home and is waiting for the reopening.

I have many ideas about the future, but they may not have a grateful relationship with reality. Everything is not planned now. I can’t even prepare for the opening because I don’t know under what circumstances it will be possible. Even if I could open it tomorrow, no one would come anyway

He says Balazswho is an II. Coffee district and pub owner in Buda. He says, for example, it probably wouldn’t be worth it if he could only admit 30 people to his 50-60 seat cafe on behalf of social distance. He agreed with his employees that he would help if he had to, but they all realized that he couldn’t pay them without income. Also, most of the workers are college students who either live with their parents or have now moved home out of necessity.

He has agreed to rent the pub with the owner, but is renting the café from the municipality, with which he does not have an agreement yet. I had to bid on II. district office to which no response has yet been received. So you don’t even know exactly how much you are going to spend, but you also have to pay all the contributions, the meter doesn’t work for free either, and the overhead can’t be cut to zero, “because there’s a freezer that has to go.” Balázs spends his free time with his two-year-old son and his pregnant wife.

Owner pays for not looking for a job

The manager of a downtown pub and nightclub store is in a fortunate position with his colleagues, for whom the owner pays a base salary of HUF 150,000 for the duration of the forced break. Martin He is aware that many caterers have been laid off and also sees in the party district how the team is already unloading from some restaurants. According to him, it can already be seen that only the places with the most serious capital can survive, “already full of bar equipment for sale in the market.”

Martin is not looking for a job and, as he says, the owner also pays them so they can count on them when they reopen.

He also knows that if he doesn’t pay, we would go find a job. And that’s not going anywhere, but I say I’ll only stay until my old job opens. Almost all my hospital acquaintances were by courier, it can also be done for a short time. Also, if guests can be received again, food orders will decrease as well, making it a win-win situation.

Andras everyone awaits you VII. to their district restaurant, but after they have 90 employees, they can’t pay them a base salary now. However, they do help with housing, as homeowners have removable floors on Airbnb that have been vacated due to the epidemic. The store manager said that some of the waiters were also couriers at his home, others were working on construction sites, but hoped they would also return. Incidentally, the restaurant now not only takes care of the employees’ daily meals, but the employees of the Szent László Hospital also cook 30 servings of food per day.

At the same time, András also spoke about the fact that it is not enough for his restaurant in the party district to open it, they should make tourists return to Hungary, because around 70 percent of his guests are foreigners. There are currently no estimates of when this could happen.
