Good, pay a livable wage and ditch tips

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

He should probably just close his stores, saving the public from ever accidentally ingesting his disgusting food.

Two Pizza Hut franchisees, who own hundreds of stores in California, are eliminating their in-house delivery fleets. The labor-gutting strategy has left 1,200 drivers without jobs

Sooo....are they going to rely on Doordash and Uber Eats exclusively? Doesn't that come with significant uncertainty? Isn't this guaranteed to result in fewer orders being fulfilled?

My guess with guys like this is they're so mad because they're living beyond their means. How can someone with 4 restaurants be living about their means? Cuz they're dreaming of being obscenely wealthy rather than just moderately and buy to live like they are. Multiple homes when they should reasonably (as in percentage of wealth, not that it's actually reasonable) have 1 summer cottage, a Lambo when maybe he should drive a Lexus. Stuff like that

If the minimum wage goes up, he might suffer from a restaurant going under, and the debt from that might just sink his entire paper yatch.

Hope this dude goes under and never recovers.

[–] BarterClub@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

The is a poor excuse and will cause lost of business because this guy wants all the money, not just some.

[–] Tremble@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Down goes neoliberalism. Wages go up and so does business whenever minimum wage goes up.

Friendly reminder that the "restaurants have razor thin margins!" is a lie. Their margins might seem slim, but doing huge amounts of sales means big money.

[–] doingless@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You've got to be wildly popular for that to work though. I've run about two dozen restaurants. The ones that are always packed make good margins. Many are razor thin.

[–] thesmokingman@programming.dev 6 points 10 months ago

The risk in running a restaurant is exactly this. Sometimes good businesses just can’t support themselves. Their employees need to earn enough to live and the owners need to earn enough to keep the business afloat. You can’t have the latter without the former so if your costs are too high, you have to close. No one deserves to run a business and the food world is full of the absolute best ideas and people that totally bomb.

If I cry harder I will be the real victim mentality.
