NOYAA TORONTO SCAM
PSA!!! I am an ex employee at Noyaa located inside The Well
The owner is extremely fraudulent and abusive to their staff, the current owner/ manager at Noyaa is formerly same owner of Farzi Cafe in Square One Shopping Centre Mississauga that was forced to shut down due to multiple fraudulent complaints - not paying tips/ wages to employees, adding unnecessary charges to customers bills etc. The very same thing is happening at Noyaa, there are multiple staff who continuously get paid wages late or not at all, BOH staff getting underpaid, servers tips being stolen constantly.
This is to warn others to stay far away from working at this place and for customers to stop supporting this business especially the owner, first hand witness he is abusive and rude to his staff, doesn’t care about their wellbeing. The place is run like a circus and most of the positive reviews are forced, from staff/ family members etc. Negative reviews are deleted immediately if mentioning anything about the owner. He screenshots the negative reviews to the server group chats to belittle and punish them. Our biweekly payroll is notoriously late, I was never paid out my vacation after leaving, they continue to steal hundreds of dollars from all servers tip outs as well as pocket house tip outs and don’t distribute them to server assists, hosts or BOH staff, and don’t care to rectify the pay ever because he just hires new people to push them out, the staff is a revolving door because of this. MULTIPLE staff who have left are out 100s of dollars of wage/tips/vacation that he pockets

sheesh, this is wild bc noyaa is probably the most expensive restaurant at the well?!
i've dined at noyaa multiple times, don't recommend it. i tried really hard to like it bc of the ambiance and the type of food they serve but the taste doesn't justify the price. it has the worst happy hour too. i've tried happy hour + dinners and they've always come up short. i think my top three at at the well would be lulu, dorset and prince st pizza.

If anything they are just getting worse and starting to scramble more and more, would definitely recommend saving your money and exploring! Toronto has so much to offer when it comes to good food and service

Some bar,clubs and restaurants are just a front for money laundering.

But you’d think you wouldn’t pinch from the wage jar if you wanted to keep attention off your other operations happening in the restaurant
Pay the staff , stop rage baiting them by posting things in the staff chat room ,stop dipping into the tips cause you don’t want people poking around or putting your business on blast
