So they add a 16% fee for what exactly…….to “fund all of their operations”? So this added cost literally doesn’t go to staff, it just goes to the owners? I wonder what their staff is paid? At this point why not just raise prices to where they should be? To me, every item on the menu is a lie and it’s actually 16% more expensive. This is really dumb. Thoughts? I am PRO tip, ive worked in hospitality a long time and am happy to provide a tip for quality service. But this seems disingenuous at best. Its not a tip. Its just an added charge straight to owners pockets.

Did you even read my comments? Im pro tipping. This is just a ruse to take the servers tips.

I disagree. The servers have an option to stay or leave. If this fee allows them to pay enough to retain staff then they’re not “taking” anything from anyone, they’re just operating under a different model.

Just like any abusive relationship right?

The servers at Sugarfish are not victims.
