# Man Reveals He Earns RM33,000 Monthly Working As Haidilao Trainee Manager In S’pore

##### Aside from being a popular place to have hotpot meals with friends and family, Haidilao occasionally also makes headlines for its generous salary as well.

A recent clip posted by Chinese content creator Xavier Chen recently brought the topic of Haidilao's high salary back into the limelight again, where a staff revealed his startling earnings as a trainee manager.

## Earns RM33,000 as Haidilao trainee manager

In the close to [3-minute clip](https://www.instagram.com/p/DHn01ReSGAu/), Xavier approaches a man dressed in the iconic black Haidilao uniform and asks him how much does he earn monthly by working in Singapore.

##### In response, the man named Ronghui said he earns around S$10,000 (approx. RM33,000) a month working as a trainee manager at Haidilao's Plaza Singapura outlet.

He added that he has held the position for the past six years before inviting Xavier to have a hotpot meal with him at his workplace.

While sharing with Xavier what his job entails, Ronghui said that although his job title is that of trainee manager, he still has a store manager above him.

He shared that all employees are entitled to staff meals, where a chef will prepare their lunch every day, adding that he personally eats hotpot meals at least three times a week with a 50% staff discount.

Interestingly, Ronghui revealed that aside from his high salary, he also receives tips from customers, with the highest tip being at S$1,000 (approx. RM3,300).

## 'His salary is an exception'

When queried by [Mothership](https://mothership.sg/2025/03/haidilao-trainee-manager-at-plaza-singapura-earns-s10000-a-month-haidilao-says-salary-is-an-exception/) regarding the clip, Haidilao clarified that Ronghui's RM33,000 salary was "an exception".

It added that the salary figure was affected by a "unique combination of factors, including store location, specialised role, and extensive working hours".

> **Our salary structure was designed to reflect these variables. As such, Ronghui's case should not be seen as representative of the average income.**

"We are committed to offering competitive compensation and growth opportunities, recognising that dedication and hard work can lead to remarkable achievements".
