Chef working hours in Stockholm

10 years ago

Hello everyone,

I don't seem to find any information about the number of hours chefs (sous chefs) work in Stockholm. I would like to ask if anyone knows what are the usual working hours for chefs in Stockholm restaurants. Is it common to work more than 50 hours per week? For example, in the UK, in good restaurants (Michelin starred) chefs would be doing 11-12 hour shifts, often without breaks or short breaks only.

Thank you for your comments!
