I seriously doubt he is getting any overtime.

as long as they paid overtime or he's salaried rather than hourly the company is not breaking any law.

He gets money by the stuff he sells not just by the hours.
They can make almost 10000 a month but they have to take out expenses for the ingredients like rice and veges.
Depends on how the company runs it.

Maybe he likes working there and have no problem with it

They can give you as many hours as they see fit, he is lucky to get that many hours. If he loves the job then it shouldn't bother him. I'm lucky if I manage to get 12 hours in a week. It's not illegal if he is getting the proper amount of breaks.
