« Hello my name is Bernard, I am 50 years old and I am a butcher. »

Describe your daily work

« I start the day around 7.30am to supply the meat to the cooks for lunch, then we prepare for dinner and finally for breakfast the next day. I try to work for 1 day or 1.5 days in advance. I also have to place meat orders and then manage traceability and supervise cleaning. Finally, I take care of the cutting at the buffet during lunch and dinner. »
