The Burnt Chef Project have teamed up with Doctors from Bournemouth University and Le Cordon Bleu London to explore the relationship between Emotional Labour and Employee Burnout at work, focused on front-line employees in UK’s fine dining restaurants. 


Emotional labour is the process of managing feelings and expressions to fulfill the emotional requirements of a job. More specifically, workers are expected to regulate their emotions during interactions with customers, co-workers, and superiors. Burnout strikes employees when they have exhausted their physical or emotional strength, with multiple negative effects on employees and restaurants respectively. 

This survey is completely anonymous and will take 10-15 minutes to complete. This research does not require you to provide personal data.
