Salt Bae hires £15-an-hour waitresses for London Nusr-Et restaurant – but it will take them 2 HOURS to afford his salad

SALT Bae is taking on waitresses for his London restaurant - but whoever gets the job will have to pack their own lunch.

Nusret Gökçe, who soared to fame after going viral online, is offering trained staff just £15 an hour to work at the pricey eatery in Knightsbridge.

It means they'll have to work for two full hours to afford a £30 Woooww Caesar salad as a starter - and four hours if they want to begin their meal with a smoked rib-eye.

Despite that, the chef is demanding that all new hires have at least two years of experience serving in restaurants.

According to an ad on Harri.com, they'll also need to be able to work in a "high-paced environment" and make each guest feel "special" with their "mature, patient and confident" attitude.

They'll also be able to comfort themselves with the knowledge that they earn more than Gökçe's chefs.

Back in November, he advertised for a sushi chef who would earn just £14 an hour - less than the cost of a side of asparagus.

Both waiting staff and cooks will be doing better than the loo attendant, who would have to work for three weeks to be able to buy the signature gold steak.

KITCHEN NIGHTMARE

Would-be workers were told their duties will be to deal with "various bodily fluids and, on occasion, dealing directly with the public".

For that, they'll earn between £10.50 and £11 per hour.

Meanwhile, Gökçe charges a whopping fee for his meals.

Guests will fork out an astonishing £1,350 for a Golden Giant Striploin and £1,450 for a Golden Giant Tomahawk.

The Golden Burger sells for £100 each.

Salt Bae has recently returned to Nusr-Et in London - announcing his arrival with new videos on Instagram.

BAE'S BACK

He was captured on film lining up a row of four avocadoes before chopping them along their widths with a single cut.

In a second clip, he prepares the Yeni nesil - or 'new generation' - Burger.

The cook can be seen pouring molten cheese into the bun before cutting it in half.

One of his posts is captioned: "London's new icon 2022."

Managers at the eatery said as a result of his busy diary, it's not known how long he'll stay in the UK for.

Bookings will likely soar with the chef's return - in spite of some deeply unfavourable reviews online.

HIGH STEAKS

The restaurant only has two stars on TripAdvisor. Out of 105 reviews, 62 diners - 59 per cent - said it was 'terrible'.

The site was previously forced to place a temporary lockdown on the Nusr-Et page after an influx of negative reviews. Many are believed to be fake.

Even Salt Bae's recent social media videos from the London eatery have sparked a divide.

Under footage of the burger, one user wrote: "Who tf wants a burger like that?”

Others have criticised the service.

One diner claimed waiters turned their nose up at a £10 tip.

Matthew Hynes wrote on TripAdvisor that he'd had "better steaks at Wetherspoon".

"To top it off we got asked if a tip was possible by the server. When we offered £10 they refused it and shook their head," he said.

"Keep up the great act Salt Bae.”
