How about businesses pay their fucking employees? What a concept
And just how are they going to be able to pay thier employees Mr smartguy? From the crazy over priced dishes they serve? Huh? What, from the $650 pizza making course they offer? You think they could have four sister restaurants and have any profits? Please, inform us where they could possibly get enough money to pay thier employees real life adult wages.
Not my problem close the restaurant if you can't function without bait and switch tactics with your menu. The answer to your problem isn't shady business tactics. Maybe due to the mismanageement of the economy and inflation restaurants aren't viable business ideas anymore. As the country country increasingly turns to authoritarianism as an answer to it's failing economic system you are going to see more similar things that once was viable is no longer.
Glad you didn't bother to read past the first couple of words.
Isnt that what they are doing here in theory? (assuming they arent just keeping it and not paying them higher wages)
At the very least there should be no tip option since thats what the service fee should be doing, but in theory this is what everyone online appears to want... higher prices and better pay for the employees (unless everyone really just wants the same prices, no tipping, and higher pay for the employees)
Thry should raise prices and pay the employee higher wages. All this other bullshit is just that
Its a bit of bullshittery (again, assuming all that money goes to the staff here), but ultimately its the same thing as raising the menu prices 18%. My hunch is that people would scoff at the prices if they listed them on the menu and wouldnt go there, so they do this as a way to offset that.
Yeah, people would be less likely to order food there if they knew that everything on the menu is more expensive than advertised, imagine that! It's almost like people don't being swindled under obviously false pretenses!
I just mean to say that what people SAY they want, at least online, (better pay/benefits for employees, no more tipping) is at odds with what they actually expect and will tolerate to see on the menu. This is done in a very shitty, maybe even illegal way, but it does draw the direct line from the higher cost of the food to the higher pay for the staff.
They also have the tip option which adds an even further layer of BS to it.
Im not supporting this in any way but it is a way to break it down for customers to show them without tips this is how much extra it would be.
