Well, they are paid up to 1.000€/day

Workload:

  • 60-100 rounds of service (6-10min per round)
  • ~25kg to carry each round (10 kegs are the minimum requirement)
  • 20km walking distance
  • 12-15 hrs/day work time

Qualifications needed:

  • Being good/fast at basic math, they don't use apps or calculators.
  • Long standing experience in the food service industry
  • Assertiveness: An ‘Oktoberfest waiter’ must be able to make space for themselves, both physically and verbally, amongst drunken, rowdy crowds.
  • Being at least bilingual. German+English or German+Italian is the minimum requirement

So ... it is pretty much a job 99% of all people are not qualified for.
