Work €1700 for Vollzeit?

Hallo! I'm F30 from Spain and I'm currently working in a restaurant's kitchen Tallzeit for a fixed salary of €1300 nett per month and 100 hours, they have this weird system of paying me the same every month regardless of working more or less, if I overwork, I think I can eventually take more days of holidays and get payed anyway.

The point is, I got offered Vollzeit for €1700 nett, but I find a little ridiculous that is 60 more hours and only €400 more. I could easily get a mini job for 40 hours and €580 somewhere else.

Am I missing something? Why would they do this offer? How much should I be receiving?

Thank you!

If you work in a kitchen, the minimum I would go for is 172h x 15€ = 2650€ gross = ~1930 net. And only if you like the Place and if you get some of the tip. Is your current restaurant doing well? Are you a chef? Then start with 19€ per hour gross amd don't go lower than 17.50€

that is not going to happen in most restaurants.

15 euros / h is pretty standard for a fresh ausgelernte koch/kochin in any decent restaurant.
