@adriancummins We have been swept under the carpet

[Once Upon a Thai @onceuponaTHAI]

@adriancummins I can’t even listen to them today , I’m so annoyed, they have not got a clue how difficult it is at the moment

[Once Upon a Thai @onceuponaTHAI]

@adriancummins @peterburkefg @jackfchambers @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD Disgraceful,

[Once Upon a Thai @onceuponaTHAI]

@adriancummins It’s getting out of hand, I received an email last week about packaging increases of 15-20% and I got my quarterly payroll tax bill which has increased dramatically due to minimum wage increases, delivery vans are empty, it’s a real struggle now ,

[Once Upon a Thai @onceuponaTHAI]

@CarmelP1968 @nevenmaguire @philipnolan1 @macneanhouse Top class Food , we ate in December, you would definitely not leave hungry, all the extras and service also top class , worth every penny

🚨Restaurant industry on a knife edge: ‘We are working harder than ever to keep our businesses going’

Restaurants are being forced to close as Vat rate hike bites in a sector trying to recover after the pandemic

Today I ask: What sort of reception do politicians and Govt Ministers expect when they roll up in their Ministerial Mercs while their courteous hosts may be wondering if they’ll have to close their doors by month end?

🚨Hospitality Vat Rate

The Dutch Government proposed to increase the 9% vat rate for Hospitality

The proposal was overturned and it remains at 9%

Common sense prevailed

[Once Upon a Thai @onceuponaTHAI]

@adriancummins @businessposthq Our Asian suppliers van getting emptier by the week , used to be packed with food now only a quarter full , driver said Friday was first time ever that 3 “big” restaurants never ordered food ,

[Adrian Cummins 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇵🇸 @adriancummins]

Hospitality sector critical of budget as failing to sufficiently help rank-and-file firms

Budget 2024 ‘fails to take meaningful action to support food-led businesses with the exorbitant energy costs they continue to face’

[Once Upon a Thai @onceuponaTHAI]

@adriancummins Unbelievably Disappointing Budget,

[Adrian Cummins 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇵🇸 @adriancummins]

🚨Vat increase for Restaurants and Food Businesses Nonsensical and will add to consumer inflation - Restaurants Association of Ireland

Restoration of 9% vat rate for food businesses a key ask in Budget 2024 discussions https://t.co/Lr5Xpiof4J

[Adrian Cummins 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇵🇸 @adriancummins]

🚨9% Vat

Dalata boss says - The expiration of the 9pc Vat rate for the hospitality sector tomorrow will have a significant impact on pubs and restaurants facing high energy costs and a 12pc rise in the minimum wage from next January. https://t.co/8ciCFPFpxs

@adriancummins Mr Michael McGrath has no clue of the realities facing businesses, I’ve only just increased my prices again to cope with all the costs and another 4.5% increase is going to drive some customers away , rough times ahead for a lot of small food businesses
