Disclaimer

I had absolutely no work experience and was a complete beginner.

I was dismissed after just one week.

Based on my observations during that week:

1. There is more to learn than in a typical small restaurant, and if you cannot fully adapt within one week, you are basically out.

2. They are not lenient with beginners or willing to give you more time to improve and continue observing your performance. Therefore, beginners who adapt and react more slowly are not advised to apply, because if you do not have a corresponding bank account, you also have to spend 1,000 to open one, and getting dismissed after working only a few days would be a complete waste of money.

3. New employees are watched especially closely. Even walking around to check on things may get you criticized for having nothing to do. I found this baffling, since my colleagues told me to walk around and see whether any customers needed help or whether there were plates to collect, while colleagues chatting nearby were left alone.

4. You cannot take holidays off. When it is busy, you work overtime; when it is quiet, they let you leave early. The working hours are not fixed, and the pay is not guaranteed. In my case, I was almost always allowed to leave early, and they would not keep new employees on for training.
