| - What a bad experience! We booked this place weeks ago for a business and entrepreneurs meeting early in the afternoon (4.30 to 5.30PM). We are a group of about 10 people, potentially interested into bringing business to this restaurant, with our professional network and on a private plan.
Well, this is NOT going to happen!
They offered us a nice table to sit at. We placed our food and drinks order. Then the waiter came back to us saying we had to leave because this was kind of a high-end table, and each of us would have to spend at least $200 if we wanted to stay there.
Let's have a quick maths lesson here: 10 people, $200 each. That makes $2,000 during a supposed happy hour time. Plus the place was empty, nobody was waiting for this table.
Anyway, $2,000. Now, let's have the ten of us coming back... Let's say at least 5 times a year, to be fair. With at least 2 other people each time. With an average ticket of about $75 per person. $11,250.
Dear manager, you just lost at least $9,250 within 15 minutes.
Plus a very bad opinion from the 10 of us, and we are going to spread the word, I swear.
This is a perfect example of bad marketing and management. Congratulations!
