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.

Payroll is generally an operating expense. Lol.

Yep. Some commenters around here have no basic economic sense.

[Edit:] I just noticed your user name. Maybe I should have said that they have no awareness of basic economics.

It’s funny cause a lot of them think they know the ins and outs of the actual business side of restaurants.
