I'm afraid its inevitable many businesses are simply unviable now. Lets hope new businesses can open to cater for people staying at home to generate new jobs.

abbeyedges 82 #15 Posted July 4, 2020 I think the pubco's need to re-visit and change their business model. There could be many, many unemployed in the hospitality industry and I wonder if pubco's should think about splitting their establishments and have a 'tenant' for the bar /drinks and another 'tenant' in the kitchen/ food area. To run a pub / drinks is sometimes more than a full time job but at present they are also responsible for the staffing of the kitchen area. Encourage an entrepreneurial chef to take on that area and it will do well if he/she has a financial interest in the business and its success.

Yes, and dodgy going on between the old owners, their staff and the new tenant according to this thing in The Star. Old owners alleged to have got rid of all staff after telling them new people didn't want them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
