Restaurant Owners, how is the business going lately? I’m troubled with rising costs and shirking margins, what about you guys ?

    Coffee van here, sales down, trying to cut labour costs, shrink shifts and put cheaper ( younger) staff on where possible.

    Applying for more trade accounts to give us more time to pay for fuel and stock but it only delays the loss.

      Isn’t that illegal at least in the UK. Just get rid of old staff so you can pay younger ones less, not really good business practices is it now.

        Staff are casuals so no set hours and we have explained to everyone it’s temporary. We treat out staff quite well.

        End of the day I can’t run the business at a loss, does my staff no good if I have to shut up shop and they all lose their jobs.
