With the controversy surrounding the hospitality sector due to employers’ complaints about the lack of personnel willing to assume controversial working conditions, there are those who can see the situation to emphasize the opposite. A) Yes, Grillaerawith two stores in Andalusia, shares in its letter the waiters salary and other details regarding the working conditions of its staff.
This burger joint with restaurants in Algeciras and Malaga defines itself as “crazy burger grill” and warns on its website that “the rules are there to be broken, the only thing that is non-negotiable is the taste of our hamburgers”; it is just a set phrase, of course, since the regulations regarding workers rights They strictly comply.
In their letter, available in full for online download, they start with a very illustrative page in which they begin with a whole statement of intentsbefore going into flour with its gastronomic offer.
By enjoying Griellaera you are contributing to creating a fairer profession and eradicating a social scourge around restoration.
They indicate that all their “grillaos” (workers) are contracted for the hours they work, with a salary stipulated by the official catering agreement, which in the case of Malaga is 1,648 euros of gross salary for 40 hours weekly, 1,430 liquid euros with 537 euros of Social Security.
They also complete the information with all the positions employed in each location, the percentage of indefinite contracts (80% in the case of Malaga), the distribution of working hours and breaks or how many active 40-hour contracts they have. In this way, we can know that all your employees have five days of work and then enjoy two consecutive days off.
this curious example of transparency is for the moment a very punctual and local case that has been made known through one of so many viral threads shared on Twitter, and echoed by the newspaper 20 Minutes. It is clear that it is a good marketing operation in favor of the restaurant, but it also allows the customer to have more information when choosing where to eat, beyond the prices or the type of food that is offered.
With the arrival of the summer season and the reopening of the hotel industry to a situation that is practically identical to that before the pandemic, the controversy over the wages and hours of waiters is far from over. Will have to see if other locals join to the example of Grillaera openly publishing the conditions of its employees.
