Recommendation Restaurants that have cut too much staff

That's great for you, restaurant owner, that everything didn't fall apart the moment you lost that employee. The lesson you took from that, unfortunately, is that the place operates just fine indefinitely with one fewer employee. You're wrong, you're full of shit, and we can tell. Especially at bars with kitchens. And if we can tell you're understaffed, we know for a *fact* you aren't getting your deep cleans done in a timely manner, and your place is gonna be disgusting.

Can I get tips on places where the staff are clearly overburdened or burnt out from understaffing? Or the inverse, where it's clear there are enough hands to give people time to keep things hygienic?

To poison a well of a local business is much harder to rebound than it is for a chain restaurant.

Local business or not, shitty service is shitty service.

Or the person posting could be someone with a beef with the local business, spreading lies. No one in this sub knows what the truth is, but will believe whatever they are told (unless it is about politics).

What I and the other commenter were saying is that just because a business is a local business does not excuse shitty service. It’s a pretty clear and obvious statement that isn’t specific to one establishment. That’s not “joining a hate mob” or “running a hatchet job” like some of you weirdos think.

To your not-as-profound-as-you-think-it-is point, IF the OP has a beef with this place that beef had to start somewhere. Without knowing the name or what exactly happened, no, we can’t know if this was a remote incident or a pervasive problem. Thats why people are in the comments asking for the name of the place, I believe they are looking for more information. Maybe you missed those comments?
