Sadik MUHAIMIN
Sadik Muhaimin arrived in France with his family in 2014. While his parents decided to return home to settle a family matter, he wanted to stay. At the age of 16, he was welcomed into a center for unaccompanied minors. He enrolled in a vocational high school in the hope of working in a customer-facing profession. "I couldn't speak French, so I wanted to find a job where I could learn and communicate," he explains.
One day, while working in an educational restaurant, he served Roger Burtin, father of chef Cédric Burtin, who was looking for staff.I'd never worked in a real restaurant before," says Sadik Muhaimin, "I didn't know how service worked. However, he applied. After a two-year apprenticeship at L'Amaryllis, in Saint-Rémy (Saône-et-Loire), he was hired as a half-row waiter, then promoted to head waiter the following year.
His smile and professionalism won over the Guide Jaune investigators, who decided to award him the Accueil Bourgogne-Franche-Comté 2022 trophy. "It's a great honor for me. When I look back over my career, I never thought I'd get here," he enthuses.
