What sort of money does that job pay?
Discussion
I know there will be all sorts of variations but I'm intrigued.
How about posting up a job and seeing if a PHer knows or has an idea of the salary.
As an example I booked dinner at a London restaurant on Saturday, a huge place, pretty fancy with 400 covers.
I guessed the executive chef would have a salary of £100,000 but I could be wildly wrong.
What other jobs make you think "I wonder"

The head chef won't be on half of that. £35-40k in London I expect, maybe more with the London Weighting (SP?)How about posting up a job and seeing if a PHer knows or has an idea of the salary.

Five years old, but unlikely to be too far wrong:

Depends on the restaurant and the quality.How about posting up a job and seeing if a PHer knows or has an idea of the salary.

Normal good quality restaurant, anything from £28k-£50k. Highestvi ever managed in my London chef days was £47k and that was working high end contract cateringfor over 1000 staff a day.
Michelin star, then you're talking big bucks.
.
That alone comes to £25,000 turnover A DAY, close to £10 million a year.
The figures may well be wrong but even the article linked above says £70,000 and that was 5 years ago.
The executive chef at a place like that will have huge responsibility, a big budget and dozens of staff under them too.
I'd think £100k including the London factor is very realistic.

That surprises me. I arrived at it on the basis that the restaurant will serve at least 500 people a day and an average is well over £50.That alone comes to £25,000 turnover A DAY, close to £10 million a year.

I know Michelin starring can make a huge difference on pay, but I know a non Michelin one will be around that. A London based one may be on more, and more again for the Michelin star rating. I was going on what a good friend told me who works in the industry. Blanchimont said:

Michellin star chefs will not be earning £100k+ unless they own or part own the restaurant they work in, even in London. You can read all the the news paper articles you want it does not happen.There you go, a list of all Michelin Star head chef vacancies on the biggest chefs job website in the country.

Adultwork for prices. Three hours work a week for some of them easily is a grand a week cash. NordicCrankShaft said:

Indeed.Although not London, the average round my parts is around €35,000 for anything around the one star mark. A good restaurant can have a hugh turnover but once you have worked out, the wastage, energy costs and staff costs then it is sometimes enough to make you weep. Add on rent and it can be boarderline suicidal
