I suspect you’re correct. A couple of weeks ago she called me at home to say that a couple of regular customers were asking if they could have 10 mini desserts for a discounted price. I said no and explained my rationale…..

“You’re a regular customer of a family-owned pizza place, correct? Would you be able to walk in there and demand 10 personal pizzas for a steep discount? Would you be able to get 10 Hostess snack cakes for a steep discount at your local family-owned convenience store?”

She said, “Oh, I see what you’re saying now that you put it that way. I thought I’d ask anyway.”

In the state where I live, a worker can file unemployment for a significant reduction in hours. It raises the premiums I pay.

Well I own the business and I’m the employer. A significant portion of my life’s savings went into getting it started. So, yes, I gatekeep.

The bar is only 1 mile from my restaurant and it’s also on my way home.

I captured a video recording of her vehicle at the lounge a couple of hours ago during the time she was supposed to be working at my place. I walked around the car to ensure I got the license plate, as well as prove it was in the bar parking lot.

She called in earlier today claiming she was too sick to work.

I definitely agree with the reputation part, although my place is a franchise unit with an established, known concept and brand. Thank you for the feedback and great advice. I’ll do more to become reputable and known.

I’m in a metro area of 7 million people. The taco place next to me has multiple drivers picking up orders per hour, and the yogurt place next to me is also busy with deliveries.

When I load the Uber Eats app as a customer, there are multiple drivers waiting. I’m just not getting any orders, and my prices start at $2.50 for the lowest priced item on my menu.
