A number of people told the chef he should take deposits for the chef's table experience
MasterChef winner Simon Wood has shared his frustration after a number of diners failed to show at his top Manchester restaurant over the weekend.
Garnering a lot of attention, a number of people were supportive of the chef and shared his sentiments, however the post also prompted many to question why the chef does not take a deposit for the experience, take card details or pay up front. Another wrote: "That is a fantastic looking set up. A crime to see it empty. I simply can't understand the attitude that allows that sort of behaviour."
And while many sided with the chef that it was 'sad' that customers were disrespecting the chef and his team, he explained that taking card details 'doesn't come near the spend or loss of potential revenue'. And on the issue of taking a 25-50% deposit that '50% of bills doesn't pay wages or outgoings'.
"It is not the restaurants responsibility to have a policy or contingency in place to accommodate every eventuality where a patron or prospective patron may or may not be an absolute s***house…. I think that covers all replies to the below thread."
