We know what it's like to work in restaurants and hotels.
The reality of HoReCa workers in Portugal:
Low wages
Work 12 hours but get minimum wage
Payment delays
Live paycheck to paycheck and wait weeks for payments
Shift hunting
Constantly searching for new shifts on Facebook groups and Indeed
Overload
Always short-staffed, and the burden falls on you
Adaptation stress
New place means stress: menu, rules, new colleagues
Our workers' stories
"I live paycheck to paycheck. If there's a week delay, I have to borrow from friends."
"In summer I work in two kitchens at once, otherwise I can't survive on 800 euros."
"I look for side jobs every week to cover rent."
