Be Aware Of The Greedy Landlord

Greedy Landlord

This morning I heard some disturbing news. A good friend of mine, a fellow chef, told me that he was having to close the doors to his restaurant. I was in shock at first and as he explained more my shock turned to disappointment and anger.

What the Fuck

Basically the landlord wants to hike up his rent! That's the bottom line. Apparently the landlord thinks that my fellow chef is making a killing and raking in thousands. Are you for real, you fuck wit landlord.
Maybe because you arrive at your snug little pad and see how busy the restaurant is on a Saturday night. Have you ever seen it dead on a week night, I thought not. If you had you would probably know a bit more about how things are in the restaurant trade.

Profit Loss

Just today on the radio ABC I heard that our local tourism members have warned of a huge down turn and profit loss in the tourism industry this year. So how do you, Mr fucking landlord justify a hike that will and has sent one of the best restaurants in our town, shire, central Queensland, over the edge!! Let alone put several members of staff out of work. You greedy bastard, hope you sleep well.

Doing it Tough

Now after doing it tough for the first couple of years he is, sorry was just staring to see the small rewards of his hard work. Not only that, the guy has put his heart and soul into this place, day in day out, when staff didn't show up, when customers whinged, when suppliers failed to deliver, when his own family needed him, he gave all to his restaurant, now you want to take that away and destroy him, you fucking wanker.

The Roll on Effect

Not only will his staff suffer, himself, and others in direct contact with the establishment, so will his loyal customers.
Can you imagine the weddings that have now got to rebook elsewhere.
People would go for breakfast, lunch, dinner, specials events and more. Not any more.

We Need To Stop This

I think something needs to be done to stop this from happening. The people of this town are crying out for good places to go, infrastructure to be put in place, business to start up, but why would you when this can happen to you at any time.
Why should we work all hours to make our business thrive just for some greedy landlord to hike up the rent to take more of your so called huge profit, which you deserve. Surely they can make there money elsewhere.

Excuse Me!!

Lets hope this landlord in question never manages to lease out this premises again. He doesn't deserve to and the unfortunate next occupier will be made aware of his greedy fucking unethical tight arse fuck wit landlord, please excuse the fluent verbal abuse but i am lived.

I have had to think long and hard about this. I am simply shocked and stunned. To me this is like finding out your best mate has cancer, shocking, disturbing news that I can't do anything to change.
Firstly though, to my fellow Chef, you are doing a fucking great job, and you will continue to do so elsewhere, I'm sure this bastard fuckhead landlord won't keep you down for long, and you know that myself and other chefs of integrity and calliber in this town will always do what they can to help.
I also speak from experience. What is it these fucking idiots are thinking? I had the misfortune to be involved with a restaurant funded by non hospitality experienced investors. They, as most people outside the industry, think that a restaurant is a fucking goldmine and they could not be further from the truth.
This is devastating news, to have your restaurant taken from you, after you put EVERYTHING into it, by reasons that are outwith your control.
I hope my fellow Chef and his family will get through this.

@Hellraiser, you for one can truly understand what our fellow chef is suffering. I was lucky to get out on a high a few years back just before the shit hit the fan. Anyway, as you clearly said he is doing a fantastic job and we both know that he will bounce back. You can't keep a good chef down for long, hey Hellraiser.

As an addition to my comment it's interesting to note that I am now being blamed for the closure of the business I was involved in. Well, that's what their restaurant supervisor said when she was fucking our restaurant manager on his boat! Wonder if her boyfriend know this?

It is a shame that another excellent restaurant in our town has / will close for bad reasons. One good restaurant with top chefs went through a degrading downturn and installed pool tables, TVs etc and made it a bad environment to enjoy a quality meal, the chefs were heard to be being verbally abused. They left, we never returned. Fortunately, we have now found where he (at least) is serving quality meals. Didn't see his "better half" there. Yeppoon is deserving of quality restaurants where one may enjoy well prepared and presented food, a respectable wine and a peaceful ambiance. The closing restaurant provided that as well.
Will pass the word around about the closing restaurant - hope to stir things up!!
