The company went bankrupt
They ended up losing more than 500 000 yuan
We have been in the restaurant business for over ten years and we never thought we would have to say goodbye to everyone
It has been six months since the opening
It really has been too fast
It's like a dream
Opened this dried chicken
shop drained all our savings
The catering business was too tough last year but weren't willing to
give up so we want to try a different
product and give it another shot
Think about it then if you
switch to another product
you'll have to invest
several ten thousand yuan you really don't
have a clue in your heart it's really frustrating too exhausting maybe
it's better to just give up
The public welfare industry
and the food industry
in China are facing a new period of change
In 2024 the number of restaurants
that closed down became
the highest on record with approximately
3 million establishments closing
The Chinese economy is slowing down
The civil servants were relocated
The unemployment rate is also rising
Moreover people are avoiding quitting their jobs and
the catering industry
has been severely impacted
I still remember when I opened this store I
invested a total of 1.3
million yuan and I opened
the store with high hopes When it first opened I was almost live streaming here every day
I usually stream from 12 PM to 2 PM and I
stream on Jewelry Street
every day During the
live stream most of
the viewers are my fans
they all greet me and
they see me streaming
They will come to eat at my restaurant right away

Opening a restaurant is from
preparation to opening from
organization to stable operation
step by step the sweat and effort
of the operator are all combined
only those who have actually
experienced it can understand how difficult this path is
Hello fellow restaurant
professionals I'm leaving
first everyone I'm retreating
first I can't retreat anymore
goodbye it was
ultimately because of the
large environmental impact
starting from May 2024
The catering business began to decline
People no longer like eating out
The time is getting longer The
sales price is getting lower
I went through more than a year of effort saving 1.1
million yuan every month plus
the previous rent and interior
decoration costs and all 35 million yuan disappeared which
really put a lot of pressure on
me and when I came to the forest
The night of the great New Year's Eve
The crowd was in an uproar
The stairs could not move
Every restaurant had a line
People were queuing even after 11 PM
The customers were in great condition
But then suddenly they disappeared
Keep making money every month
I thought the business would get better
but I was wrong
so I am quitting
I can't be with them anymore
I'll retreat first
I'll withdraw first

Chefs have also been swept up by the wave of unemployment
Just like there are many chefs uploading to social media
Competition has intensified
Salaries are also getting lower
Some people say they haven't
had a job for more than half a year
I am a chef who has been in the profession for over
twenty years I have been
unemployed for a while After I
became unemployed I couldn't find a job Some people
said my appearance was too ugly Some said I was too old
Is finding a job really that hard
Oh the cold wind
Not finding a job
Zhongji Sha Bingbo's permanent village
Sasho City area
The rural group's path left
behind has a simple dormitory
The cheapest big house is 160 yuan per night
Many jobless workers
are temporarily
residing here to save money
Each renowned chef is a Chongqing chef who has worked for more than
ten years and often
stays in this 160-yuan dormitory
After the old Chinese New
Year each year he came from
his hometown in Manchuria
Chongqing to look for work
in August to help his father plant rice the rice was
transplanted in the village back to work in Shabing
Every morning each
chef goes to the labor
market to look for job opportunities
In front of him was a simple resume in a box and
around him there
were also many people carrying
symbols looking for work as chefs
He told reporters that the employment situation this year is particularly severe
From the beginning of
the year to September there was only one month when work
was available and after
that it was nowhere to be seen
He used to
cook in a cafeteria cooking dishes
in over twenty stores
all handled by him alone in order to reduce
costs the chef asked
the staff to eat the
food left by customers
He didn't want to eat
so he made his own stir-
fry The chef and the
worker were ultimately fired
Each chef's phone number
Chef Ikikawa
Chef-like phone numbers
Job application app
How many
He didn't miss any opportunity
from large restaurants to
small corner eateries finding
qualified job seekers and
immediately calling them
According to him the number of
people looking for jobs this
year has clearly increased
A few minutes later
several people
called to express their views
The job content
has become serious
the previous stir
-fry chef only had
to cook now they
also have to cook wash dishes and clean the tables
Age also became a major
obstacle to his career
This year's chefs are
47 years old but many job
applicants are under
45 even under 40 Kitchen
work is very physically
demanding and requires
working for several hours
a day Washing dishes
The older you get the
slower your movements become
and your salary also
decreases Colleagues explain
He visited more than
twenty restaurants
in six months
but none of them
hired him Chinese
social media has
many chefs who can't
find jobs in videos
Some people
have already
resigned five months
ago wrote on the book from the beginning
choosing this job was
a mistake he wrote
some online users
just complain like this
Before No matter the age of
any job
Chefs do not cook stir-fry
No matter how
unfortunate There will always be work
He said
This year chefs
I think the Great
Wall is just a fairy tale book that a child would read
Of course there were
many things in that cold
space the kind of
friendship between people
between children between
relatives that very
warm feeling I was there
after that interruption
They followed me
So I think it's
time for us to leave
We have only one
demand which is to
tell a truth through a certain way
Let them persecute us freely
everyone speaks as they please
When I was painting
actually as a professional
practitioner I didn't
find it hard but when I
was experiencing that
time and bringing back those memories I felt a
heavy sense of something
The feeling of being suppressed
