Asked for the worst thing about the restaurant industry, the restaurateur picks guests who eat on the house and leave no tip, noting staff now depend on service charge.
Yeah.
No photos of that. No photo. Leave your phone outside, right? Yeah, yeah, exactly. A bit friskier.
Worst thing about the industry. I have a thing, which I don't know if it might be a bit controversial, but I get really annoyed when influencers and people from the industry come in and they don't tip. And I know they're coming in for a meal that they've been invited to, but then that waiter isn't getting any benefit from you being there. 100%. So whenever we go out and we're invited, we're lucky to be invited to some nice openings and things. We will make sure we will always tip at the end of that meal. And it's always people that have probably the most money and have come in and then they'll just walk out and say, thanks. And it's like, I get that they are influential people and that they probably feel like that it's a privilege that they've come into your restaurant. But I don't think it should be like that because I think it's rude. Like, I just do.
Todd's a tipper. People say Todd's a tipper. Is Toddy a tipper?
I think he came in once when we used to let Coup de Grille many moons ago. Yeah, it
was pretty tipping. Might have been pretty Toddy tipping.
