Lol are you saying people working in hospitality business don't have equal rights as those in other industries? I have worked in construction and if customer wanted us to work over the weekends then we charged them Saturday(50%) and sunday(100%) surcharge on labour charges. It's really as simple as that. Most of these pizza places are under franchise agreement which means companies like dominos and pizza hut force them to open stores seven days a week. You clearly don't have any idea about how cut throat hospitality business is. During the KFC's Christmas in July promotions a bloke fainted due to overwhelming amount of work on a Saturday. Didn't even make the news.
If you don't want to pay sunday surcharge then cook at home and eat healthier.
Keep charging more. No wonder it’s expected 1 in 13 hospitality businesses are closing within a year.
@Sam816 I certainly said NOTHING of the sort
I clearly stated the employees deserve the pay and businesses should not be blaming the employees.
your construction case is quin-essential example appropriate use of surcharge (operating non social hours providing labour services and you can choose to accept or reject), all extra costs then go to employees involved.
For a restaurant we have no idea how much goes to the employee.
the food supply costs dont go up they are delivered on wednesday, the utilities are kwh not date rated, the variance is salary.
The store may sell 20% less items than regular day (drawing a loss every Sunday even with surcharge) or 1000% increase in sales than regular day, (drawing extra salary for whole day is covered by surcharge by 1 pm)
remaining 9 hours 10% is purely profit and NOT shared with employees.
If they promised the excess surcharges went to the tips i might believe it but at the moment it is general revenue.
"Most of these pizza places are under franchise agreement which means companies like dominos and pizza hut force them to open stores seven days a week"
a food takeaway joint is choosing to open, Sunday surcharges existed long before franchisees & franchisors made their agreements.
"During the KFC's Christmas in July promotions a bloke fainted due to overwhelming amount of work on a Saturday"
drivel you're blaming us? that sounds like a business not managing business or is unsustainable
many franchisees inexperienced in business sign up thinking it is easy dreamy job KFC run it we just profit dream.
"For a restaurant we have no idea how much goes to the employee" really? You think these big brands open their stores, forget what happed to 7eleven and ignore all the labour laws?
Lol again clearly you have no idea how the industry works. Your tantrum against a company owned store like KFC or hungary jacks is somewhat justified as parent company is bears the brunt but in case of franchise system only the franchise owner is a loser.
No body complains about bogof but guess who bears the cost of free stuff? Not the company, it's the franchise. And do you think franchisors let go of their share when the franchise has to pay 50%or 100% wages over the weekend? No it still comes out of the pocket of the franchise owner. But everyone is so pissed at these big brands that they forget that these franchise owners are people like you and me sitting in the same boat and trying to fight with inflation.
Now I now what you are going to write. That it's their problem, they should have known before entering in the franchise agreement. They need to 'deal with it'. But you turned in to level 99 keyboard warrior when I told you the same.
I wrote about the KFC kid just to see your reaction. Most entitled customers direct their anger against the brand towards these kids. And you have proved that you have no fcking clue about how the industry works. KFC employees kids who get 3-4hr shifts because they don't have to pay them high and they can distribute the shifts over a larger group. With a larger group trained in the processes they always have replacement ready in case someone burns out like in this case.
I know you don't care if there are people working over the weekends away from their families while you enjoy quality time with you family and sook on the internet. In a way you are just like managers in these companies like KFC and dominoes.
I hope you leave negative reviews every time you food is late by 10 seconds as it does wonders for the franchise owner or the manager of a company run store. It's gives the parent companies ammo to penalised them more and save a few more bucks.
For the people who are not cski, please show some empathy towards people working at these fast food joints Most of them are just students trying earn their college fees. If you have problem with your order then talk to the store. The manager or franchise owner are usually more than eager to help. Unfortunately, the only thing these big companies are good at is to displace liability on someone in the system.
@Sam816: Thats the problem with the world today
People Like you!!!
We agree totally but you insult yell tantrum bitch to create a divide when none actually exists
I never said employees get paid too much or that should pay less
I said plainly I'm highly suspicous of where the BUSINESS! sends its money when it demands we the consumer sends them 10% more.
They claim to cover wages but like you said it probably does NOT!
They claim to cover wages but like you said it probably does NOT!
Of course it does not! Sunday wages are 50% MORE than usual, and surcharges are much much less. So you are correct it does not cover it, but we accept it’s appropriate to pay more for unsocial hours and hence it’s fair.
Of course when you asked me I am happy to pay a price if I would go there. No brainer. Of course.
I am happy to pay $9.20 for a pizza on a Sunday or $9 plus 20c surcharge for a pizza. It’s the same thing, but some people clearly get their kickers in a knot over it, EVEN when it doesn’t affect them. Pretty much the definition of crazy!
@cloudy: Surcharges at dining are a percentage of a retail sale
Salary loading is per hour and paid whether we use the services or not.
That means they are providing labour services to the business owner.
We are buying a completed product not a service measured in time.
Sales rate revenue and salary hours are not direct linear.
That is not a direct related comparative metric
the levy is not 20cents on $9 it is 10-20% that 90 -180 cents
But reality
$15 ph worker x 200% $30 ph
$15 pizza x 110% (1.50)
10% surcharge is achievable measure of return other wise it would not be used at all
10 pizzas per 1 hour (totalling $15 surcharge) you would cover the salary of that 1st worker every hour.
But you and i don't know how many pizzas or meals are sold at a restaurant in each hour Sunday versus any other day.
But i do know 60grams of each ingredient 90grams cheese is the same price to the store Sunday as it is monday.
That cashier at petrol station and woolworths , at the hospital the police station are there sunday whether we use their service or not.
And if we do use their services they are not entitled to charge us a levy surcharge for sunday hospital emergency, sunday rates tim tams and milk.
But if i call in a trademan to fix may plumbing i am buying time measured service and i will pay that 200%.
A pizza , a beer and parma is not measured in minutes.
A restaurant I'm purchasing meat bread and dairy often using digital automated and handled by people that are paid whether i shop there or not whom are working as service provider to the business.
therefore it is purely responsibility of the vendor to wear the cost if they choose to operate sunday and not blame staff for getting salaries the are entitled to.
I’ll play devils advocate.
They sook about Sunday wages
Not a lot difference in the way you sook over surcharges
they don't like to pay wages they are not obliged to open Sundays.
And you are not obliged to shop there on Sundays…
I personally rather see Sunday surcharge than have the costs imbedded into Monday-Friday pricing. I think it’s fairer.
News flash what makes you think i shop there Sundays
If the surcharge doesn't exist : i don't have a complaint, but news flash it does and the blunt reason they give is Sunday salary rates.
Those rates have a specific purpose to discourage (but not block.ban.prevent) business operating in unsociable hours (sunday)
A business chooses to open Sunday, and they do so because they feel it will be profitable..
Funny you would say
"I personally rather see Sunday surcharge than have the costs imbedded into Monday-Friday pricing. I think it’s fairer."
because if the business chose to lift prices weekdays to compensate sundays
well the competitor that chooses to stay closed sunday can keep the price you want and you would go there?
besides they already do the whole costs embedded through the week with the sharp discounts mon tues not available other days.
This is what’s wrong with you, you do not shop there, yet you are so disturbed by it. Are you ok?
because if the business chose to lift prices weekdays to compensate sundays
well the competitor that chooses to stay closed sunday can keep the price you want and you would go there?
Uhh yeah? You kind of make sense.
Uhh yeah? You kind of make sense.
Thanks for acknowledging my point. It's not about being personally disturbed, but rather about understanding how market dynamics work. If a business raises prices on weekdays to cover Sunday costs, customers might naturally gravitate towards a competitor that keeps prices stable by choosing to stay closed on Sundays. It's all about how competitive forces influence consumer choices.
But Competitive forces
A business decides to Voluntarily open a day that they know is unprofitable
I'm pointing out that surcharges, especially those tied to unit sales rather than labour hours, can be misleading. If the business generates enough revenue to cover the increased labour costs but continues to impose a surcharge, it might indeed appear as though the company is padding its profits under the guise of covering labour costs. This could be seen as dishonest if the surcharge is presented solely as a necessity to meet higher wages rather than a profit-boosting strategy.
I simply argue that businesses need to be transparent about their pricing strategies, especially when they claim that certain charges are necessary to cover specific costs.
Exactly why they charge Sunday surcharge, I really fail to see the problem
I don't think too many Domino's franchisees would use the word lucrative when discussing their business, Most of them would fall into the category of having "purchased a job" which is pretty common among small business owners.
"purchased a job" interesting
i assume that is the real term for the trend we seen last few years where segments in society that left employment searching the dream of make your own hours be own boss.
Sadly was unfounded because being you own boss is not really always easier because you still have a boss, whether it the franchiser , the customers or the legal guidelines.
and the hours well the market drives that; they learned the hard way, a lot of business will fail next couple of years some because of market but many will be those that "purchased a job" ; shuttering up and looking for a traditional job
Lame those codes not accepted near three stores lol oh well there loss
This should be labeled targeted. Literally in the description too - Some stores only.
I despise the Sunday surcharge.
They sook about Sunday wages as the reason, news flash dominos is not a hospital, utilities maintainer, emergency services, it they don't like to pay wages they are not obliged to open Sundays.
Historically hospitality food & takeaway chose to or not to open Sundays based on the income projections many found they make more on weekends so chose to open with revenue to cover costs plus profit.
Others chose to stay closed
The reason a business is open Sunday is they have foreseen lucrative opportunity for revenues, not a mandate of guaranteed social essential service.
