@gugafoods would you ever release the grill kit in Australia retail stores ?

Love you guys, this fight with cancer is getting hard. Thanks for the energy and entertainment boost
You got this!! All the best ❤
Phoenix Tears for your fight. 🔥
I'm recovering from prostate cancer surgery myself. I was lucky that it was discovered early. Best of luck, and I hope things turn out well for you!
When Brian eats something good, his left eye squints a bit while his right eye does the opposite and opens wide. 😂
It’s a weird tick I’ve had since I was a kid.
My dad jokes I was arrested in a past life and one eye is keeping an eye out for someone stealing my food 😂
"Employees used to be grateful to have work and being able to take care of their families"
That works when employees are able to take care of their families. You mention paying your staff above rate (with tips). That's great. But when that isn't the case, you're not getting gratefulness. Employees aren't trading their time for money, their trading their time for the ability to make a life for themselves and their family. It's not businesses responsibility to take of of the employee (just to pay them), but it's also not the employee's responsibility to take care of the business (just do their job).
New York (and other places on the high end of the unaffordable list of cities) are a different beast though. I don't think most businesses could make sure their employees could buy a house or whatever.
I think the only people I've heard talk this way are people who have never run their own business, and/or have never even put any thought into what it would actually be like to run a business. Even besides, this is the most pessimistic attitude you could take, and I thoroughly disagree.
Business owners should recognize their staff as an integral part of how the business runs, but employees need to take personal responsibility for that as well. This entire attitude of people who wouldn't pick up a piece of litter outside unless it's specifically written in a contract is just disgusting to me. Workers and business owners need each other, and can't exist without each other. At the end of the day you can choose to make the world better or you can be a selfish c%$#.
@@Puzzlesocks no business owner means "pick up litter outside" when they say go above and beyond. Hell, anybody, employer, customer, passerby, should pick up litter.
It's the thought process that thinks employees should care about the well being of the company when the company doesn't care about the well being of the employees.
If a business takes half the waking day from an employee, but can't provide enough for them to fulfill their basic needs, it's downright psychopathic to care extra about the business.
That doesn't mean the employee shouldn't give two craps about for they do their job, but a business shouldn't expect an employee to value it more then the business values the employee.
@@teke367 You would be surprised. We recently had a hire that threw his own trash into the bushes directly outside the restaurant figuring "It will just biodegrade eventually". Maybe it's just my area, but litter abounds and I rarely see anyone pick up litter. This issue of laziness is so bad that my work intentionally hires people at a lower wage but gives them a "secret" raise 2 to 3 months in after they can prove any level of competency. It's a good filtering mechanism to get rid of people only looking for money rather than looking for a job.
Again it comes down that the person working knew what they were getting into. They signed on for the wage they got, and you can either take the paranoid view that every owner is trying to screw you and keep you poor, or you can maybe realize that there isn't infinite money.
What even is "going above and beyond"? How do we measure how much something is valued in this context? This is all vague propaganda speak that promotes discontent. I'm not saying some people don't take on a bad deal, and even that some people feel trapped by this bad deal. Trying to put that at the feet of someone else though is plain wrong.
@@teke367 A few years ago (can't remember if it was the US or Canada) there was a major company busted for booking employees up until 30 minutes per week before they'd have to provide benefits. There's also been a push recently by employment lawyers to have 'other duties as assigned' to be entirely removed from any contract since business were taking advantage of that and using lower paid employees to do the work of senior or management without the requisite raise in pay or benefits. I'm a gig worker, and I will HAPPILY take a lower paying gig with people who respect my work and what I do, than one that pays more and doesn't give two shits about people working for them.
@@Puzzlesocks Use this opportunity to reflect on your viewpoint and understand that your strong feelings do not translate to a strong claim. You must understand that you've added zero value to the conversation by simply making things up out of thin air and then using that as validation of your perspective.
Your argument died the moment you added in the thing about needing a contract to pick up litter. That is not the argument and it is wholly unrelated to the idea that employees should put some moral obligation above their own basic survival.
Frenchie will soon be “I can’t believe it’s not buttery goodness.”
AS far as food waste, so many places do it. Wendy's uses the leftover burgers for next day chili, for instance. My Dad used to supervise for Arby's and they used to toss the leftover sliced beef into BBQ Sauce to use the next day as a bbq beef like sandwich special. I remember vague things about it cause I was like 8 or 9. Used to do the same with things at our family delis growing up. The re-imagining leftovers, not the bbq beef thing. LOL.
It's the same as re-inventing leftovers at home.
Oh man, our dogs have all had the best lives. We’ve had 7. Our current pooch is 14 and he’s had 4 other dogs with us. We got him when he was about 1.
Pretty sure he’s content being a dog even though he thinks he’s a person. He certainly thought he was the boss of the other 4, lol.
Unconditional love.
I have a math disability and always told my friends I’d pay for their food (maybe 50% of the time) if they could do the math for the tip because I didn’t want to get it wrong. 😅
Don't know if you noticed, but that griddle is also special because Guga designed it with two adjustable "clips" so you can attach it to a standard outside grill that has the typical wire racks. That's what the slotted sections are on one side and one end.
$50 seemed a bit stiff for a griddle plate and some spats at first, but now I'm actually interested in looking into it. I've seen a lot of youtubers go bottom of the barrel for their products, but hearing that the griddle has actual heft to it convinces me it may be worth picking up. Especially if you don't have a griddle top.
Lodge black iron griddle was 20 bucks... after inflation 50 bucks seems reasonable
@@patrickglaser1560 yeah, considering it's not just a griddle plate. If the spatulas are as good as they seem, that'll tack on a decent amount. A good spat is so important haha.
Here in Germany, employees finally understand: we don't need a particular job/company. We need a job, but it mustn't be that one particular job. But the Bosses here are like "No! You need our company! Do more!"
They have some very different rules overseas about employment. Statements like that are why people don't succeed. Dedication to the work is needed, not the company. But how many different companies can you hop between before running out of excuses for the sense of entitlement?
Annnnd, looks like Guga should have sent two boxes 😉
I love that you're always ending it with "I hope you enjoyed this video as much as we did making it" as it really gives me that cozy feeling that you guys love what you're doing, and are not just creating content for the content's sake... :D
As someone who's battled severe depression and came out the other side, that Rocky quote hits haaaard! Ain't nothing realer than how hard life will hit you, lemme tell you.
Quotes like that are why I'm still here now.
Huge love to both of you, mad respect ❤

I can't speak for the restaurant industry, but in tech, mass layoffs happen constantly. People find it hard to act grateful for a job and be loyal and work hard when you know the company will just lay you off without remorse at the drop of a hat. (I love my job and work hard, but fear of layoffs is always in the back of my head and it's hard to trust the c suite.)
Facts. I am in constant fear of being offshored due to management planning and failures. I work in a niche area, that doesn't allow my skill set to just allow me to move easily to another company either.
Yup! My husband worked at a place for 15 years and got laid off despite being practically the only IT guy. The business thought it was more cost-effective to outsource his job and pay a contractor 2x the hourly wage so they didn't have to pay retirement and health benefits. The only thing we were grateful for was the severance package he got.
Any business can fail. You can always get laid off or find yourself without work in any industry. Using this as an excuse to not be grateful for what you have is unseemly. I got laid off from a hotel that was closing. What are they supposed to do? Sink themselves into debt forever so that I can keep my job and current lifestyle?
Who is talking about failing? @Puzzlesocks business do mass layoffs with record profits.
If the company treats me as an atomiton, then I treat it as an atm.
It's just business goes 2 ways.
@@deth3021 If you have a job, you have not been laid off and therefor have no reason to work poorly. Don't excuse your own bad actions by using someone else's story.
Also even if I give you that the boss is some evil mastermind treating you like a tool, which I don't believe for a second, why is that an excuse to poorly serve your customers? It does go both ways, and if you work like shit, you will get treated like shit. If you don't work like shit, but still get treated like shit, at least you have the moral high ground when you find a new job.
That Burger looked soooo good, Frenchy inhaled the thing LOL

nice to see that kit demo. Looks worth the buy! That marination chamber can work some magic, I bet.
FREEENNNNCHYYYYY
Love the pod guys! 1 complaint; Guga's burger press is great to make "smash" burgers with identical thickness, but without the flat edge surface of a traditional press...there's no maillard lacy edges like the best type of smash burgers. Keep up the great content!
Great episode! loved the burger! (and music choice that segment) Can't wait for more cooking vids.I bet A cooking show on the other channel would blow up..
Awesome episode, I really wanted to see the hot sauce sample
I need that griddle. I splashed sizzling hot oil all over my arm when I was flipping a burger patty last week. I usually just make a couple of single beef pattie burgers for me and my wife, but decided to make double cheese burgers. When I flipped my 4th pattie there was just too much grease accumulated in the pan. I'll either get a griddle or drain the oil between cooking the patties next time.
Chef Brian and Frenchy going all mukbang on us!
They used those beds in (I think) Beijing as well. They're made out of cardboard, and only designed to bear the weight of one person.
Definitely getting one for my niece. She’s into Guga a lot. I got her his book and was very happy.
Lmao it's a lot easier for me to care when i'm compensated adequately. At my old job, they cut my hours to where I was going to make $7,500 less while expecting me to do the work of 3 people. They own the job, I own my labor, and those two were no longer compatible.
Im gonna say it once and every time after this, u guys would make a awesome cooking show! Plz guys! 1 cooking show and i will patreon! Promise!
Another fun episode, thanks for entertaining me!
The "I shouldn't have to support your employees" mindset when it comes to tipping is an interesting one to me because these same people seem to think payroll just fucking materializes out of thin air. Hey custumer, you're supporting my employees either way, one is just more direct to the employee than the other. Besides, if you tip cash you're being a good person by cutting the government out of the transaction. Fuck the IRS.
Frenchys so right about city employees taking their sweet ol time 😂😂😂. I’m a city employee myself . Most of us love overtime.
❤thia podcast thank you both for taking time out of your schedules to bring us this content
Our pleasure!
Newly subscribed . Came from gugas channel . Love you guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That business segment was amazing. I started my business 3 years ago, love the logistics industry but I got tired of the businesses I worked for. I always say ‘if you’ve got time to bitch, then you’ve got time to do something about it.’ It’s an attitude that I now push to my employees. I’m not a typical boss, believe in transparency and open communications. Is it perfect? No but it’s progress in the direction I believe in.
Cool! Guga has some good products. Love the review.
Great episode
Did you lose weight? No, it's just been re-distributed 😊
Wife and I will be in nyc area next weekend time.
Goal is to try to get to missions sandwich and George motz’ hamburger America, and La rivage.
Don’t know if have the timeframe to hit them all though.
from where?
Don’t know La rivage but I’ll be at Le Rivage 😅
You guys are amazing, and represent everything that is right in this world! (and I'm not just saying that because you sent me an awesome FOSB shirt)

Fixed! Thanks for pointing that out!
“So what, you got fat” 😂
When frenchie said I usually like to savour these flavours in my mouth. All I could think is he likes Brian’s flavour.
I love me some guga! More eating on the show guys, please. I wanna get both of your opinions on food more!
As Mr GugaFoods said is over Due for a Cooked Off, Steak Cook!!! ASIAN FUSION STEAK!!! HAIYAA!!! with Aka Uncle Roger.
I think the whole "employee/employer" conversation is very much a "chicken or the egg" kind of problem.
Many employees of my generation grew up always being told to work hard at a company, give 110%, and be loyal until you retire - and it'll all pay off. In a world where employers (not all, but many) that once showed loyalty to their employees are now trying to find reasons to fire/lay off good employees for reasons ranging from cost-cutting to avoiding paying out retirement, that mentality just hasn't been worth it.
So now many of my generation want to work, but don't forsee a ROI where it concerns company loyalty and "going above and beyond", and employers see a generation of workers (not all, but many) who don't put in one ounce of effort more than is required - if that.
So which comes first; loyalty to the company, or loyalty to the employee? I don't know.
Do you think in 1830 that companies were giving out retirement packages all willy nilly? This whole idea that everyone should be taken care of instead of that people should take care of themselves just seems like a plague to me. If you do the math on how much it would cost to give these retirement packages to everyone you begin to understand just how insurmountable a cost it really is. The idea was dead from the get go.
You should do a good job because you signed up for the job and should respect your community you serve, end of story. Trying to excuse your laziness by saying someone else owes you something neither of you agreed to is ugly.
@@Puzzlesocks Considering the fact that public pensions in the US emerged in the mid 1800's for only certain municipal employees I can with confidence say that no, I don't think companies were giving out retirement packages all willy nilly.
You could have picked any date prior to the widespread adoption of pensions/retirements/401k and asked the same question, and unless you have some standard by which you would judge that such times were better I would question the relevance of the argument being made. The point I will agree with is that people need to take care of themselves - and, I would add, that includes not wasting more effort than required at a job that has no plans on rewarding you for going above and beyond (pay raises, upward movement, bonuses, etc.). Such efforts could (and in today's economy, often should) be reallocated to another job or side hustle that'll make up for the difference in the cost of living.
You should do your job because you are paid to do it. Respect (in a community or on a personal basis) goes both ways, and is earned - not given.
To believe that many of my disillusioned peers are all simply lazy in a world full of mass layoffs, exploitative management styles, and wrongful terminations is woefully naive at best and willfully obtuse at worst.
@@thewinterbound Clueless is buying up the socialist propaganda that business owners are a different class of people who owe something to the poor working class. The whole idea that we have a society with classes of people is just socially reinforced propaganda.
The point of asking about retirement packages in the past is to show that they didn't exist except in very rare instances. Again, do some basic maths and you will find that providing this on a wide scale is completely untenable. Do the more expanded maths, (including all costs to a first degree of separation) and you will see it's absolutely bonkers to promote it as a sound idea. Just for a small example, if we gave out such packages at my small restaurant, we would have to earn nearly double what we currently do annually but we already run at capacity year round. There literally is not enough fridge space, time, or hands to work that much product.
You talk about wasted effort, but what you are wasting is yourself. So long as you keep thinking of yourself in that way, you will be endlessly frustrated, because the person you aren't respecting is yourself. There is never a reason to half ass a job, and half assing includes doing the bare minimum. If you want upward movement, you have to reach upward, not have it handed to you.
Once again, if you are doing a job for money and not because you want to do the job, then it's as if you are eating the menu instead of the dinner. You've mistaken life itself for a descriptive caricature of life, and a pretty miserable caricature in your case.
@@thewinterbound The relevance is context. It's obtuse to try and frame the entire argument under the narrow parameters you set. Also respect isn't something earned, it's something given. It's not something you take for yourself, but something you give away. Your argument makes as much sense as saying that the stomach is more important than the brain because the brain gets all the nutrients it needs to function from the stomach, which completely ignores that the operation of the stomach and the ability to get food into it at all is run by the brain. Trying to separate multiple parts of the same system and rank order them in terms of importance (as people are doing framing this as a class warfare argument) is nonsensical. Or to use a different analogy, it's arguing that the wheels are more important to the car than the driver.
It's honestly amazing the lengths people will go to in order to defend bad behavior. You can try to expand my argument to "all workers are bad" if you want to (even though I never said such a thing at all). My argument is and always has been that every piece of this pattern we call humanity should be working to help humanity. Sometimes this means recognizing that the perceived benefits you want aren't realistic, or even that the whole frame you are thinking about a problem in is illogical.
All you really have to do is spend 5 minutes thinking through this with yourself framed as the business owner. Just ask yourself if you would want to hire a worker who is going to do the bare minimum (and let's be honest, anyone who does this is almost always doing less than the bare minimum) because they come into the job with the assumption that you are trying to take advantage of them and will throw them away like garbage at the first moment it might benefit you.
Or to put it most bluntly. Blaming bad workers is not the same as praising bad bosses. Assuming that is my argument is a sign of dichotomous thinking fueled by ideological brainwashing. I just refuse to accept that you should ever treat someone badly based on the bad actions of others we perceive to be in their group. That is stereotypical bigotry at its finest.
@@Puzzlesocks "a sign of dichotomous thinking fueled by ideological brainwashing"
Speak for yourself. You've been up and down in the comments pushing a narrative that workers are lazy and should give their soul to the company store because "morals," and somehow you don't believe you're thinking in black and white? Self-awareness is your friend, bro.
Do you seriously believe that workers were happy and going above and beyond in 1830 even with the lack of modern "benefits?" During the 1800s when employers weren't giving out retirement packages willy-nilly (and there was a lack of any labor laws), there was a LOT of conflict between employers and employees. The Pinkertons and police forces were formed at that time to quell worker uprisings, bust labor movements, and enforce vagrancy laws designed to force employees back into the factories and mines.
After WWII, a lot of "low-skilled" jobs did indeed include pensions, and many families could do well on one income. That's the kind of thing that bred a degree of loyalty in employees. Employers understood that if they took care of their employees, the employees took care of them. In addition, "minimum wage" was a living wage at that point. Then, starting around the 1980s, the cost of living began to outpace wage growth, and employers also scaled back benefits and laid off workers while raking in record profits. You don't think employees will reconsider their loyalty and effort because of that? Get real.
Employers need to stop acting so entitled. If they can't afford to take care of their employees, perhaps they can't afford to be in business. The relationship between employer and employee is transactional, always has been.
Need Cowboy Kent to help you season that griddle
I would love for you guys to have George Motz, the Burger Scholar and owner of Hamburger America, as a guest on the podcast.
You 2 are the only reasons I'd go to nyc.
I just realized, I wouldn't recognize Brian without his glasses lol. Time to trademark those things!
I like how the color palette and package style of the griddle kit resembles those NVIDIA graphic cards.

That Stones clip was from Roiling Stones Rock and Roll Circus back in the late 60s. It wasn't released for decades because Jagger felt that the Stones were up staged by groups like The Who.
I may want the griddle. That's about it.
idk if it's an issue on my side, but the clip you play at around 8:20 has no audio for me.
I'm sure the government would want to push the anti tipping narrative, because what if the employees forget to report some of those cash tips and don't have to pay tax for that amount earned?
Heartbreaking really 💔💸
This person gets it.
I am just wondering how you guys didn't trigger the fire alarm, or I guess that was cut?
And the hot sauce? I thought you were gonna add it to the burgers, oh well buy some chicharrón, guacamole, lime and your hot sauce. Mmmm now I'm hungry. Saludos
You guys talking about the employees, I own a roofing company in Youngstown Ohio, If they aren't around my age, no work ethic, and if a kid has work ethic and learn the trade, they will be on top the industry when our generation is done

Frenchie about to get cooked for that if Jacques comes back to the podcast lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂😂
17:08 oh, they'll find a use for the cameras. 😕
Your not fat brain and frenchy , your just easy to see 😇
My honest opinion a tip must go to waiter and the kitchen staff. I worked in the industry before and I always tip I know the work the stress that goes in to a table. I will always tip even though I don't have the money it is about self respect!
Is NY like CT where if a waiter doesn’t make minimum wage after tips it’s the businesses responsibility to cover the difference?
Yep
Hey guys big fan. What do you guys think about Trump saying that tips being tax free?
Sounds legit

Love the videos. Please clean the little spot below the frenchy sign on his camera... its making me wipe my screen over and over
@24:04 you aren't counting the tips they don't tell you about. If you think you are anti taxes, ask the employees pocketing cash tips if they file returns for that $h!t. Take your' gross sales multiply it by .3 and and weight it it from your best performing servers down and you can see your real tip volumes
30% of your' GROSS in tips minus declared tips
Someone call Han Solo because Chewie is on set.
Here is something most people do not know about how cities use their budgets. Lets say you are able to cover all your overhead expenses, and their is a significant amount left. Well, the city just showed that they can operate for less then what they keep trying to take from the people to cover those costs. They do not want their budget to go lower so they spend that excess money on things the city doesn't need so they can legitimize the high taxes within the city, while they do nothing for the people.
next episode i hope you guys watch the latest Uncle Roger reacts to Jamie Oliver's Veg Pad Thai, i really wanna see your guy's reaction to that cuz thats on another level of amazing fuck ups by JO. Its so insane and funny, you guys will definitely get a kick out of that vid, hahaha.
Man, on the business clip…. as a manager, I came to see the bigger picture. Some of the employees never will.
So as someone who was a "server", ie a waitress for a number of years, yeah, I wanted my tips because places I was working paid barely above minimum wage or less than minimum wage so tips were necessary, even when it was the former case the pay was still so abysmal needed tips, and I will bet to you guys that your employees "still want their tips" because the wages they're receiving ain't covering the costs they need to get by. I mean, I like you guys--it's why I watch your channel, but your take-aways on when it comes to employees is not near as insightful as you seem think it is. For instance, Brian talking about how successful his wife is while also owning a successful shop and their combined wages leads them to still be struggling, "bUt u dOn'T hEAr uS bItcHin' aBoUt it", that's you take-away? And you're satisfied with that situation? You think it's okay that you have that level of successful and still stagnate at best in your current living conditions? You don't think that's even mildly messed up and maybe needs to change in our current society and thus worth maybe bitching about--doing something about it? And you're gonna complain about workers having no ambition?
Well, a lot of those "good employees" are doing that and means not working a places that they don't see will cover there needs. Simple as that. So, if you're standing around wondering where all the talent has gone while getting employees that feel zero compunction or need work for what your giving, chances are it's because you're not the only game in town offering that wage for that work and they know (or at least have the perception of) you can and are willing to easily replace them no matter how hard they work (because of past experiences) so what have you done to make them care? Your business is special and means something to you because it's yours, but you're not the only one in town and from the employee perspective especially in this modern society workers are only see as bodies easily turned out through the meat grinder and that's how most employees especially low income employees (and I'm willing to bet your works fall in the low income/working class bracket) view owners and managerial staff viewing them.
Now take you what you got with your struggles and cut it down significantly and you'll have an iota of understanding where your own employees are in regards to their living conditions and livable finances--and if you think I'm not talking about those "good employees" you're waxing nostalgic about once possessing, think again, guys. And they're going though that with the full understanding (ESPECIALLY in the food industry) that without tips their wages will not be livable and they're going to be taking on another job to make it work, unsurprisingly likely even a third, and possessing utter awareness whatever wage increase they ask for no matter how hard the work will be peanuts or met with resistance no matter what an employer may claim otherwise (let's be real here, guys), and further on top of that when push comes to shove of quitting if not getting paid more for what they need just to maybe drop one of the places they're currently working at so they're only working at 1 job or 2 rather than the 2 or 3 that they're currently working (it's what the average low income/working class worker is going through), they know the employer most times will gladly drop them for some low wage schmucks off the street you guys were just mocking in this episode. And then you got the gall to wonder where employee "loyalty" is? Or where all the "good employees" are? Or why employees aren't grateful or kissing the ring for being hired by you? Yeah, I wonder.
My experience in 20 years of work. If you work hard, especially at any smaller non-corporate business, you will be recognized and rewarded. The people who complain about not making enough for their hard work are very often the people consistently screwing off and don't do nearly as good a job as they think they do. They are so lost in their own world that they are judging themselves based off themself and not off what is actually good in the industry.
These people think they are David Goggins because they walked 5000 steps a day. I've worked slaughterhouse production, done arborist work, and grew up working on farms throwing hay and mucking stables. The restaurant business pays more than any of the other 3 and takes significantly less effort. What people lack is perspective, and they need to stop looking at millionaires as examples of how they should be living or what they should strive for.
Thank you for your thoughts ❤
Frenchy, send Blondie to Wally World and buy yourself a Guga kit. 😛
You should send a bottle to brain amms he has a hot sauce channel
Do you know what happens in a lot of jobs if you show up and bust your ass? You become the corporate slave. You end up having your boss show up at your door on your days off because he or she knows you'll do the work. I've had a number of jobs over the years and that has always been my experience. The only reward for hard work is more work. It doesn't help that we are all disposable. I've got education and experience and I've never found that ideal "career" job. I'm not suggesting that either of you run your businesses that way. That "forever" job that enables you to buy a house and raise a family is no longer a reality for a majority of people. Something needs to change or you're never going to be able to find people that care enough to show up.
There are always people who care…you’re right you should quit whatever job I’m assuming you have…life is pointless and horrible…walk into the wilderness and be one with nature
Happened to me too in the restaurant business.
This is a little biased though tbf!😂
You could maybe wash the stuff first🤷..... No LTO...... No mustard....

Boss makes a dallor I make a dime that's why I crap on company time

Have you seen Jamie Oliver's worst recipe yet? At least according to uncle roger. I know when hes in character he is comedic to a degree for the camera but it makes chilli jam rice look 5 stars by comparison
im excited for your hotsauce
And that's why I hardly ever ever go out anymore (I'm sorry)
Not the restaurant's problem if the wage we pay isn't enough to support a family... Also...The quality of people who want to work for not enough to live on is terrible. Connect the dots guys. You get stupid employees because those stupid kids are living off their parents. Responsible people can't work for you because they need to pay their bills like responsible people with jobs that pay enough. In all seriousness saying "not the restaurant's problem" that they don't pay enough to live on would make me not want to work for you. You reap what you sow.
How do you suggest these restaurants materialize these wages? You strike me as someone who has never seriously thought about the logistics of running your own business.
@@PuzzlesocksYou get what you pay for. Not much to think about.
@@GaryBusey-sLaserdiscCollection Again, where does the money come from? A restaurant can only make so much money, and the restaurant making good money depends on the workers actually doing their job well. Workers doing a better job directly leads to more money being available to pay workers.
When you sign a contract to work, you are essentially agreeing to earn money for the business at the wage you agree to. If you want rights to the money earned by a business, you need to own your own.
So long as you keep thinking of this as a "this or that" or "If/Then" problem, then you are confused. Once you change to start looking at life as patterns and see cause and effect are really just one process and not two separate events then things will start going better for you.
@@Puzzlesocks Not my circus, not my monkeys, I'm not getting paid to solve the business's problem. This may seem elitist, but I've also never thought about the logistics of buying bread for a business because it isn't my business! Part of running a business is figuring out the logistics of how to pay for the caliber of employee you want. Anyone can start a business and try to run a sweatshop but the quality will fall off and then you can't whine that people don't want to work when it's that the people you want don't want to work for what you want to pay. People these days are giving businesses too many free passes to make excuses for why they won't pay workers enough to live on. If you can't pay your workers then you have too many employees or your overhead is too high or your rent is too high so many possible reasons; none of which is the employee's fault or the reason why they should take less income to help the business owners dream succeed ESPECIALLY when the owner says their poor wages are "not the restaurant's problem".
@@Puzzlesocks I've worked for restaurants through my 20s and while admittedly a tipped-based server will benefit from the success of a restaurant I strongly doubt the guy making sandwiches will get a significant pay increase with the success of the shop and it's a moot point if that job doesn't pay enough for him to live on. Making sandwiches isn't a upward facing career, maybe manager one day is about the best one could expect. That leaves kids living with their parents or single young adults living with roommates as the only feasible employee options. The responsible ones, ones who will want to have a family, ones who want more from their future will likely either not take a dead-end job or move on quickly (high turnover rate) leaving only the unmotivated employees which leads employers to think everyone is lazy or no one wants to work when in fact it is the employer attracting that caliber of people. Like guys who think they only need money to get women but then think all women are gold diggers because they only date women who want someone for their money. There are so many people in the world, if you are surrounded by what you deem a low caliber of people then the problem is probably on you. “If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.”

I couldn’t understand one damn word that that woman said it was either censored or just poor quality sound work sorry, gentlemen
uhm....was that Mick Jagger in a dress?
I will say, just a hot take/hard opinion on a touchy subject; Tips arent a requirement, so employees arent guaranteed a livable wage.
Tips should be a bonus, not a way to make a living.
WAIT....did you just put the cooked burger back on the plate that had the raw meat?
What if we did? We ain’t serving it to customers…we ain’t pussies!!! Of course we did not, but even so…you never ate steak tartar?! Raw red meat is not hazardous!
I eat raw burger meat all the time
@@pauldenamiel Why then do we have food handling practices? You should practice food safety all the time as a habit. Not a good look from a restauranteur methinks. Cross contamination is a real thing. Anyway, good to see you don't mind belittling your 10% - unsubscribed
23:30... dual income *no kids* and trying to support a family? What... parents, aunts, uncles cousins?
