Clement Demarais (Restaurant Manager) - living in a country that loves restaurants as a pastime, but not a career

Published: Nov. 16, 2020, 5 p.m.

Dirty Linen first spoke to French restaurant manager Clement Demarais in August. Melbourne was locked down and as a sponsored worker, Clement's options were severely limited. He ended up taking a job in Sydney managing a creperie. We talk about escaping Melbourne, the post-traumatic stress of emerging into low-virus Sydney, and because our topic this fortnight is staffing, we talk about the difficulties of finding skilled staff, especially in an Australia that loves restaurants as a pastime but doesn't value them as a career.\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/clementdemarais/\n\nFollow Dirty Linen on Instagram\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en\n\nFollow Dani\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/danivalent\n\nFollow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en\n\nFollow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/\n\nFollow Huck (Executive Producer)\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/
