So will there be surge wages for the employees?
Any restaurant that tries this deserves to go under.
Only in the opposite direction. Wages go down during slow hours.That's already been a thing for decades they just call it "scheduling" instead

Why on earth would you do this and not keep it hidden as best as possible? Like there's no positive spin.Not to the consumer, no, but to the investor...
only in that they schedule more employees for the busier times.Lmao, They wont be scheduling more people. Busy hours simply mean you work harder.
surge pricing will let them make up for the fact that they need 8 people there during the lunch rush, but 5 of them are useless when they aren't as busy.

uh, restaurants already do schedule more people for busier times. there's no way you're going into a busy fast food restaurant during lunch and they only have 3-4 people working like they do during slower times. but because of labor laws they can't hire people just to work from 11-2, so they have to give them full shifts in which they're not really needed for the other 4-6 hoursLmfao
Lmfao
lmfao? have you ever worked fast food?Have you ever been to a restaurant?
Have you ever been to a restaurant?
Capitalism isn't already rigged enough in their favor?
Capitalism isn't already rigged enough in their favor?Most restaurants shut down within 1-2 years.

While the hour-to-hour labor-to-revenue ratio is high during slow times, the overall labor is low for the day because they dont schedule more people when its busy.
Isn't "Happy Hour" at the bar just reverse-surge pricing?If you assume the quality of drink is the same lol.
Isn't "Happy Hour" at the bar just reverse-surge pricing?No. They sell you less for less. Surge pricing is the same for more.
No. They sell you less for less. Surge pricing is the same for more.
Bottles of beer are less?You get bottled beer for happy hour?
Bottles of beer are less?I was talking about the food. And the mixed drinks.
No. They sell you less for less. Surge pricing is the same for more.
Sounds like you go to bad happy hours.And it sounds like you don't get that the average is what matters, not the existence of an exception. That what happy hours I've been to are functionally irrelevant.
When I go to D&B they have a menu. How can they change the price from what I see on the Menu?Theyll just print surge pricing menus lol. Or have you scan the QR code with the surge pricing on it.
Unless this is only for online orders? People who order online can get fucked for agreeing to pay those ridiculous service fees in the first place.
Theyll just print surge pricing menus lol. Or have you scan the QR code with the surge pricing on it.Or go to digital only menus that adjust themselves.
Theyll just print surge pricing menus lol. Or have you scan the QR code with the surge pricing on it.It would be insane to make every resturaunt have separate menus and expect their staff to remember to put them out at specific times. The D&B closest to me usually only has 1 bartender on staff and they can barely keep track of all the orders coming in.
Or go to digital only menus that adjust themselves.Fuck that, If I don't see a menu on the bar I ask the bartender to give me one. I get they did that during covid but that shit is over now. Gimme my menu bitches.

the town I used to work in closed one of its dunkin donuts that was within a mile of another. and you know what they did? they opened a new one. within a mile of the third one. Want to guess where this newly opened one is located? it's inside a Home Depot.
Who are the "dozens" more? I need to make a list.
