@MAGAlwr5 We are just the messenger. Raise min wage as high as you want to go Mr Mayor. We have no choice but to pass the increases to the consumer. Simple economics! My payroll & Food costs (prime costs) cannot exceed 60% or we are all out of business.
🚨 BREAKING: In a brutal development, NYC restaurant mogul CANCELS ALL future restaurant expansion due to Zohran Mamdani's socialism, "defund the police" and $30 minimum wage.
Even worse for Zohran: He has plans ready to go in MIAMI, FLORIDA.
STRATIS MORFOGEN: "We had 3 leases ready...to expand Diner 24...but when I hearing 'defund the police' and uncertainty in the small business, with what this upcoming mayor is campaigning on."
"Let's see if he passes any of these things he campaigned on. Because we're NOT gonna open any businesses in that climate!"
"The politicians don't understand it...when you raise minimum wage to $30. At that point, that $12 hamburger becomes $22. And it WON'T work in the fast casual business when the average ticket is $15-$24 per person. That's basically the nail in the coffin. You're out of business!"
Yikes. NYC may have cooked itself.
Gelbs is torture to watch and listen too. Calling stuff wrong (fly out double play is one out) (two strikes overturned? Two balls overturned!!!) and just a terrible speaker. Miss Gary - unwatchable #mets
@GovKathyHochul Didn’t you try and arrest me during Covid because I wouldn’t fire my staff a “Jab for a Job!!!!” Hochul you are the worst gov and simply put a domestic terrorist to small biz owners and LEGAL NYERS. VOTE @NassauExec Bruce Blakeman.
"He doesn't know how to run a small business. He never created a private sector job. When you surround yourself by these socialists around him, this is the last thing on their mind of trying to support small business." - NYC Restaurateur Stratis Morfogen criticizes Mayor Mamdani for hurting New York City's restaurant scene.
@Varneyco Thanks to NYC Comptroller - Mark Levine we just changed the law allowing a temp license to now be issued during the layers of red tape and long delays to get outdoor cafe permits stamped. Always fighting for small biz! @NYCComptroller
