Also I've seen cafes do this cutting hours here and there thing, and it's never the boon they think it is. Even if they're barely breaking even or "losing money" during those hours, having changing, short, or unpredictable hours has ripple effects onto their busy times as well, and is usually the beginning of the end for an unsustainable business, not to mention employees having a little down-time where they aren't completely slammed lets them catch up on background tasks and cleaning up and such. Those things have to happen eventually, so they can either happen while you're still open and bringing in some revenue, or they can happen by keeping employees working for an hour after closing, making no revenue. Its not even good business
Edit: oh my god lmao this is a fancy restaurant not even a little cafe. Yeah I'm sure it's really hard to make ends meet selling $20 salads and shit
Looking at the pictures in that menu, am I the only one thinking that the plating and presentation of those dishes is really dogshit for the price tag? And those are the ones they prepared to be photographed for the menu, the thing showing up at the table could be even worse.
Yeah, constantly changing hours has put me off going to many restaurants. If a restaurant I like starts closing an hour earlier, I likely will not be able to go very often since I work pretty late. That restaurant is essentially removed from any future consideration. These are the death throes of a dying business.
I know someone that has worked at like 3 different cafes that all successively occupied the same storefront and I'm pretty sure 2 or 3 out of 3 did this type of shit right before they went bust
"rights" to do what, exactly? Pay a pitiful wage?

No wonder they can't turn a profit.
Complete dogshit. I thought we were over the stacking everything up ontop of the mash potatoes trend?
Sounds like their lunch menu wasn't very good
More like "cum gratin" for the fellas
Shit looks nasty. With an outrageous price on top of it.
