Johnny’s Answer

Your salary has no limits. Owning or running a restaurant as an experienced chef your reputation for results and quality ensure financial success. From a cook, to a sous chef, to an executive chef depending on operation size looking at $55,000 up. As an executive chef of a volume restaurant over say $5 million from $85 on. Go higher in sales and have leadership and business experience never look back under six figures. Owning a restaurant doesn’t guarantee you anything. Many fail quickly. Owners who are successful can achieve multi units staffing with professionals and bring in over $500,000 up. Restaurant executives for corporate public companies can exceed over $1,000,000, with bonus. So always know there isn’t a set salary and you can increase it by being the best

Mark’s Answer

It takes a special breed to be a Chef AND be the boss at the same time.
Think of the stories you hear about US Navy SEALS-Special Forces.
Many try-Very few make it.

Takes drive, determination, will power, dedication, sacrifice to even get in the door. Let alone survive.

Far as money: goes VERY FEW get Rich or become a celebrity chef.
Think around 35-50k depending on where, specialty, demand, cuisine.
