Restaurant Fair Wage Service Fees: The Restaurant Boss Response
Never one to shy away from controversial subjects, today I’m sharing my opinion on whether restaurants should counter increasing food and labor costs with a service fee or by simply increasing prices. What do you think I’ll say?
Last week, I shared the story of a Durham, NC restaurant that was forced to implement a 20% fair wage service fee to their checks by a grassroots organization. Many people asked what my opinion on this is and if I thought they should have just raised prices instead. Today, I am sharing my thoughts on how restaurants should counter the rising food and labor costs, as well as the staffing shortage that’s hit so hard.
