A NYC restaurateur who was one of the pioneers of the no-tipping model is now abandoning the practice
to ensure both front and back of house employees received equal wages. However, with indoor dining postponed indefinitely in New York and the restaurants struggling to stay afloat on take-out orders, Meyer felt it was imperative to reinstate tips.
The practice will start this Thursday at Meyer's first restaurant, Union Square Cafe, and will be adopted at other establishments such as Gramercy Tavern and Blue Smoke in the coming weeks as they reopen. Those USHG restaurants currently open for take-out and delivery including Daily Provisions will make the change effective immediately.
Meyer said reintroducing tipping is a way to get more money to his staff, some of whom are now returning to work after being unemployed for months. He added that he plans to persuade New York lawmakers to change the existing rules to allow for tips to be shared equally among kitchen and wait staff. Meyer said he is continuing to work with fair-wage groups to eliminate tipping in the future.
