"You’d have to write on the cakes, answer the phones, take orders,
and keep the place tidy. It’s actually a good bit of work.”

Hi, Is it accurate that "a good bit of work" means "quite a lot of work to do" here?

Yes, that's right.

Yes, here's the Macmillan dictionary. It's a standard phrase together with a fair bit.

a good/fair bit
a fairly large amount of something
We’ve still got a fair bit to do.
a good/fair bit of: He’s lost a good bit of weight, hasn’t he?

In the TV series Prison Break, when an inmate named T-Bag takes a bolt from the bleachers of the prison from another inmate (Michael), looks at it and says: ''Nice-looking piece of steel; bit of work. You could do some serious damage with it.''

What does ''bit of work'' mean here?
