Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 A closed KFC or any fast food was NEVER heard of before, It makes since these BAD food will eventually go out of business The closed KFC is now a vacant restaurant on Webster and Buena Vista in Alameda CA == To help the community and the restaurant, I had recommended a chef at 8am TODAY to look into Usual Suspect. AT 9am, He said it MUST be bad if not ONE but TWO chef left like that. He was a manager before, and he treated his workers well, nothing like this ever happened to him. It takes guts to just quit like that especially if most people go by paycheck to paycheck. REstaurant pay is low with LOTS of hard work, standing all day long, with NO weekends off..!! It's good to know a bit of the background of the restaurant or ANY company before recommending someone working for Usual Suspect or ANY restaurant. == The only thing I noticed at Usual Suspect, is they have TWO CHEFS, TWO Waitress and ONE dish washer that basically don't have anything to do cause it's a new restaurant. Why not hire ONE CHEF and ONE waitress.. for the time being.... They can also be backups to do other things like washing dishes. ..... work like an efficient mom and pop restaurant. then a few months later, start hiring another staff member until business builds UP When they get big groups of 50 people coming in.... they can hire temp staff members, like a dishwasher. == WHen Medicine first opened, the had the highest overhead I " ve ever seen.... that included staff members. The food was good, but not enough to pay the bills! NOw, they are downsizing in size, and staff etc.. winnie I'm not in the food industry, but. I know enough not to work in the industry. I get good food and service at a restaurant, I tip them well for their great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I wrong? It seems unlikely that such a restaurant would go out of business after so long simply because it makes poor quality food and stinks up the neighborhood. I would, however, look to economic conditions as a cause for many businesses to be going under for a while. -- David Benfell <dbenfell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unfortunately, I think veg restaurants may have a more difficult time than others because their base of support is smaller. As a generalization, sometimes veg restaurants open and they don't have a solid business plan, which leads to difficulties for them. I know a couple of folks who have owned/operated vegan restaurants and when I ask them if they miss it, it's always an emphatic no. While I enjoy eating out at veg restaurants, and have probably organized more social dinners at veg restaurants than 90% of the folks on this list, I don't consider them 'charities' requiring my support in the same way that non-profit and charitable organizations do. I will also avoid eating at veg restaurants that I don't trust (which so far has been due to misrepresentation about which foods on the menu are vegan). So, in these current economic conditions, I would encourage folks that whenever you have a choice, please patronize restaurants that are entirely vegetarian or vegan as they are putting their convictions and beliefs along with their $$ in choosing to not profit from selling meat at their restaurant. Cheers, Tammy __ " This is my protest against the conduct of the world. To be a vegetarian is to disagree--to disagree with the course of things today. Starvation, world hunger, cruelty, waste, wars--we must make a statement against these things. Vegetarianism is my statement and I think it's a strong one.
