My dad used to work as a maitre at a five star hotel/restaurant some decades ago. Payment was excellent, but everything else was crap. I always remember him coming home beat from exhaustion. You spend too many hours standing up, the environment is always under pressure because everyone needs to be served in a limited time frame, you have to organize a myriad of people who are also overworked and exhausted, and on top of everything the kitchen per se is a very hostile place because you can really hurt yourself if you’re careless.
