It varies alot depending on your restaurant, In general the hotel is a good example of a perfect range of culinary salary.

AUD $

*apprentice 20K less

*Commis Chef 20 -25K

*junior sous chef 30K up ( usually where most ppl are, also the largest portion of food is cook by these ppl)

*sous chef (a.k.a second chef ) 60K -80K

*senior chef / Executive chef (the highest rank but they don't really cook much just over sees the operation and attend coporate meetings, financial issues, deal with restaurant executives , all the paper work, similar to what Jamie Oliver does now ) from 80K - 120 K +

Answer 2

I'm not sure exactly how much, but my brother-in-law is a chef for a hotel and worked his way up from kitchen help. He does really well and seems to make above average income.

Answer 3

Here is a website from the US Occupational Outlook Handbook: www.bls.gov/oco and can type into search 'chef' or such. Bon Appetit! ;)

Answer 4

No real answer to this - varies too widely. Anywhere from around $20K to well into six figures.
