Khairul Aming has been receiving a great deal of attention recently after announcing his first-ever restaurant, Rembayung, which is set to open in January 2026. The response has been overwhelming. Although there have been some negative comments and unnecessary wishes for his business to fail, the majority of reactions have been extremely supportive.
In fact, many people were hoping that the soon-to-open establishment would already be recruiting in preparation for full operations. Unfortunately, the entrepreneur confirmed that he is currently not looking to hire additional staff. Here’s why:
The decision has received mixed reactions, but it also shows just how eager people are to experience the restaurant. Beyond the excitement, many have even applied for jobs there. The content creator took to Threads to reveal that since making the announcement, around 3,000 people have submitted their CVs in the hope of being hired — although, unfortunately, applications have been closed for quite some time.
“I’m truly sorry, but we’re not hiring at the moment. There were five openings, but those have already been shortlisted,” he explained. For those who may have missed it in the original announcement video, the hiring process began earlier in October, but candidates were not informed of the owner’s identity at the time. This was likely to prevent an overwhelming number of applications. It also made it easier to identify those who were genuinely passionate about the work, rather than applying simply to get closer to the internet personality.
Thankfully, most of the responses were light-hearted, with many joking that they would happily take on roles such as bouncer, fan cleaner, prayer reciter, or even an assistant to an assistant. It’s no surprise that so many people are eager to work for Khairul Aming, as he is known for being kind and generous towards his factory staff.
Perhaps more positions will open up next year. For now, if you’re a brand owner or a content creator yourself, you might consider proposing a collaboration with the entrepreneur and his restaurant.
