salty note for the great restaurateurs Papeete – La Dépêche de Tahiti


Conservators are gray mine. Terrace closed, O’Buro is for sale and Entre-Côtes in receivership. Competition home caterers and trailers is not in question, according to a professional. By cons, customers are more careful with their spending.
Black Series. After the recent closure of La Terrasse (read La Dépêche de Tahiti of 9 February), it seems that many restaurants in Papeete, but also its surroundings are in big trouble.
As proof, two legal advertisements in your daily yesterday. “Notice of sale of liquidation, teaches O’Buro restaurant, formerly Moana iti, building Moana Reva, waterfront.” This former bistro, located at the bottom of Club 106, is now closed. Taken there one and a half by the Brasserie des ramparts, walls belong to the 3 Brasseurs group.
The head of the bridge is the restaurant could not be reached. Tenders for the sale of liquidation must be submitted in a sealed envelope at the Registry of Joint Papeete court, no later than Friday the 25th of March. Another advertisement published yesterday in our columns, the opening of bankruptcy under the simplified system of L’Entre-Cotes, located Auae shopping center at the entrance of Faa’a. The crisis has not spared the establishment in 2015. “In 2015, we lost about 30% of sales compared to 2014,” he told the boss, Christophe Rosa.

“A Pizza for two”

Consumers smaller number also reduced their rating. The amount of the average meal has fallen sharply.
“Today 3-4 000 F per meal is finished. It is usually in a pizza for two and a bottle of water now. The average basket is now around 1 800 2 000 F. Everybody pay attention. That makes sense, we do not know the future, everyone protects, “said he detailed yesterday.
The receivership was asked to be more comfortable and refunds the institution to repay its debts, including the SPC, no problem. “Our business works, but the rapid refund is asked of us is simply impossible, given the situation,” laments the restaurant manager, former Zinc.
Opening of Pacific Plaza has had a positive effect in the short term.
“We had a very good month in December 2014 when Carrefour opened, the novelty has interested the consumer and the world leads the world,” recalled Christophe Rosa. But interest seems to have disappeared, habits are hard to change.
“If you work downtown, you live Punaauia, to go there after work, you need to take the RDO then, habits are hard to change,” said the restaurant owner to explain the little center of attendance commercial. With four employees today, the restaurant Auae no longer opens that morning and for lunch. “We reduced the working time, before we were open to 22 hours,” said the boss.
The decision was taken after a catastrophic month of October where the restaurant has only eight place in the evening, during a full month. “A restaurant lives with about 80% of imported products,” said the restorer. “In 2015, there were increases on meat, alcohol, everything pretty much increased, it tries to take on our margins, we can not increase the prices of our dishes.” The growing number of companies ( family) carrying dishes to deliver or takeaway is not particularly disadvantageous, depending on what professional.
“There is certainly competition, but the difficulty is mainly economic, it is consumers who pay attention to their shopping cart. It would really boost our economy, “wishes the restorer, who must also compete with trailers, not far from its establishment. “Many times I saw dishes from steak and fries kind within 1 000 F be shared by two. We can not fight, “laments the restaurant, which does not always close and forty persons per day.

Flights in restaurants: it is illegal to pay the bill for servers – ICI.Radio-Canada.ca


         Some restaurants require servers to pay out of pocket when customers go soft in without paying the bill. Employees denounce the widespread practice yet illegal.
     

         Numerous bar or restaurant waiter say there are regular flights in their establishment.
     

         Customers come out smoking and take the opportunity to save on the sly. Others leave without pay when their server back is turned or when he goes to the kitchen to find a command. Obviously, this is a flight.
     

         Some restaurateurs have to pay the servers for these thefts by customers, according to the evidence we have collected. “It is beautiful cursed! In all, I had to have at least $ 300, “says a former server, who prefers not to disclose his name. “They tell me:” Yes, that’s up to you to monitor your section “” says a former waitress, who remain anonymous for fear of reprisals.
     

         “It’s not ethical. This is not the employee must pay for crimes committed by customers. ”
          – Testimony of a third waitress
     

          An illegal act
     

         The Standards Commission, equity, health and safety (CNESST) considers it illegal. Section 85.1 of the Act respecting labor standards prohibits an employer to require an employee “a sum of money to pay for expenses related to operations [...] of the company.”
     

         “Charging the note to an employee who did not have the means to be next to his client all the time, it’s illegal. [...] It is theft. It is a loss that is part of operating expenses. ”
          – Johanne Teller, the CNESST
     

         The chain restaurants The Sports Station are among the establishments covered by our survey. Several current and former servers tell us they had to pay the bill when customers are gone underground.
     

         The owner, Peter Sergakis, defends to unfairly pay its servers.
     

         “If there was negligence, they are required to pay. And if there is no negligence on their part, they do not pay. ”
          – Peter Sergakis, restaurateur
     

         According to our sources, the Peel Pub has a similar practice. The Montreal facility even has a regulation where it is spelled out that the servers are responsible for the note when customers leave without paying.
     

         But the owner of the Peel Pub holds another speech. “Generally, the servers are not responsible for that,” said Sami Jmaiel, owner of Peel Pub. He has refused to show us against the rules of the institution about it.
     

         According to the Commission, any clause in a contract stating that the server is responsible for thefts by customers is not valid.
     

         “The law is the minimum labor standards for all employees in Quebec, and we can not go below, even with the signature of the employee. ”
          – Johanne Tellier, the CNESST
     

         The Commission encourages the servers who feel aggrieved to protest their employer. They can complain to the CNESST.
     

         An investigator will then be taken to the restaurateur and may even bring the case to court. And the Commission will pay all expenses to represent the servers.
