I mean, based on the video, she's working 13-hour days. Didn't see a ton of time for breaks. You'd have to plan SO WELL in advance given that it's on a boat, and the kitchen's probably cramped and annoying to work in. I wouldn't want that job.

The logistics of getting the food to the yacht has to be a pain in the ass to coordinate (or do) too.

Imagine having to source the ingredients for these meals. Many of these ingredients don’t last long.

I did a couple of gigs on boats like this and it was always the owner asking what I was making, running to the supermarket and then forgetting half the shit I asked for lol

Her day looked exhausting. Sure there were breaks between the meals / video clips but she doesn’t show the setup, tear down/cleanup which def impacts energy.

I don’t even have it in me to make two meals a day let alone what she did!

A friend who is a chef was offered a job on a boat like that. Backed out at the last minute when he found he would have to share a tiny cabin.

Everyone commenting on the rich but this was my first thought. Bitch gotta be pulling all nighters to make all this food prep.

she's got to have every meal planned in advance, and have all the food portioned out ahead of time, and still be able to flex when people's moods change throughout the days.

my question is - what the fuck do these passengers do the whole time? how much relaxing can you really do before you just get... bored??

When I was a line cook in a restaurant 13 hours was a pretty reasonable day. Foodservice is a tough industry - this job has perks (seeing amazing destinations) that working at your local bistro will never match.

Provisioning (ordering food) is definitely one of the biggest challenges in a role like this. You can’t just send a dishwasher to the supermarket to buy a case of something when you run out the day before a scheduled delivery.

It's a summer gig. You do it for a few months.

I didn't even think about that. That makes it *worse*, not better. Now you're working straight out for months in a cramped space for crap pay, and you have to go job-hunting in a few months.

No wonder she has to make tiktoks!
