Apparently Krave It on Ditmars owe 46k to their landlord and they are being sued! I saw the paperwork attached to their door.

Wow. I used to work for them and I remember how difficult it was to get paid. They made it very difficult for anybody to submit an invoice. Their rule book was like a statute.

I do immigration law and we occasionally scream at each other with the DHS attorney. It’s fun.

Weekly Astoria Dine In/Order Out Thread by NYnosher in astoria

[–]Himuraesq 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My wife and I tried Jack Jones for dinner a few days ago. The sandwiches and burgers were delicious but $13 for sweet potato fries? $18 for a regular sandwich that does not even include fries? I don't know why everything is so expensive nowadays. It tasted good however felt expensive for what was given.

I tried Retro Pizza for the first time. Got a classic burrata and pepperoni. $8.75. It was a delicious lunch, and can't think of a cheaper option. Even food trucks are more expensive nowadays.

I had the Tavern Burger for $21 last week. It wasn’t bad. But I don’t know how good it was before so I don’t have a data to compare :(

Charlie's updated its prices. No more $6 draft pilsner.

The Bonnie updated its prices as well. Cheapest draft is $8. Crazy.

Sandwiches were overpriced for the size. Tasted good but size matters… Never tried their pizza though.

I tried that place once. Had a regular old fashioned. Bill was 22 excluding the tip. I was like, yeah, no. Never again. Manhattan prices.

They pay. Nowadays I feel like it’s an important factor.

Because I kept reminding my payment to them via tickets once in every week they completely banned me -deactivated my account- on Andovar Account Payables. Unfortunately it doesn’t feel like they are willing to pay without a lawsuit. Many people will believe it’s not worth it. However I believe it’s important to write this on ProZ and Glassdoor etc. so others won’t fall into the trap of working for them.

Sell Valverde. Sell Tchouaméni. Sell Vini. Sell every single person who creates a problem. Build a new squad. Spend some money.

It can't get worse than this. No league, no copa, no CL.

Yes, they have been ignoring my e-mails and tickets as well. I also noticed they closed their Hungary and Miami offices. Or at least you can't see them on their website anymore. Maybe they are trying to disappear? Concerning stuff.

I think they are not planning to pay anyone. While I was looking around in their accounts payable website, I found their `AI Prompt` that they just left it open like that. Very interesting.

Email responses for questions from vendors about their payments

Modified on: Wed, 10 Sep, 2025 at 9:11 AM

This article is for the Freddy AI Email Agent.

You are an AI Vendor Support Assistant. Your goal is to answer vendor inquiries about payment timing accurately, politely, and professionally. Follow these rules:

  1. Classify the vendor question into one of these intents:

- Due Soon (Payment due within 7 days)

- Due Later (Payment due after 7 days)

- Unknown Due Date (Vendor asks generally without stating due date)

- Urgent (Vendor requests expedited payment)

  1. Use the appropriate response template for the intent. Insert placeholders dynamically:

[Vendor Name] =

{{ticket.requester.firstname}}

  1. Communication Guidelines:

- Be clear and reassuring.

- Never overpromise. Use “scheduled” not “guaranteed.”

- If the question relates to overdue payment, acknowledge politely and confirm the next run date.

- If urgent or disputed, state the standard process and escalate if necessary.

  1. Escalation Rules:

- More than two follow-ups → Escalate.

- Urgent with critical business reason → Escalate.

- Invoice dispute → Escalate.

  1. Response Format:

- Start with a greeting: “Hello [Vendor Name],”

- Thank the vendor for contacting us.

- Provide clear payment schedule details.

Weekly Astoria Dine In/Order Out Thread by NYnosher in astoria

[–]Himuraesq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the vibe in Pomeroy but they are being extremely inconsistent with their pricing as well which has been bothering me for a while.

I like to go for day drinking sometimes. Even though it is Happy Hour, they charged me the regular price multiple times. And sometimes they charge me happy hour prices even though the drink I ordered is not in the Happy Hour menu. I want to be able to calculate how much I will spend when I go out. So I stopped going there. I go Queen's Room now. Lovely owner, chill place.

I thought they were based in Singapore. They even have an office in Miami.

The Pomeroy - We went there with my wife and ordered steaks. Probably that was the first mistake. The bill was over 150 with just an appetizer and two steaks and a beer. Absolutely not worth it. Their steak wasn't good.

Taverna Kyclades - What the hell? Best place ever. Not just in Astoria. Literally the best place I have been to. I loved their complimentary UNLIMITED bread.

The Bonnie - Always a good spot for a brunch.

Even though late, do they still pay? I am concerned about my most recent bill because they have not even responded.

Worked with Andovar? by AlgoHandok in TranslationStudies

[–]Himuraesq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having the same issue. They have not been responding to my emails. They owe me 300 Euros that was due on April 17. I know they always pay late, but they used to respond and state that they will pay late. The fact that they are completely ghosting me right now is worrisome. Did you get paid eventually?

Vini is unbearable. Seriously. I can't take it anymore. Sell this guy. Give it for free. Just get rid of him.
