Restaurant owner: Yes, we can hire S'poreans, yes we can pay more for the (S Pass) levy, but who’s going to foot the bill? Ultimately..the consumers

Because the govt slaps a crazy high levy on all foreign workers. F&Bs are one of the riskiest businesses you can get into.

For food and beverage (F&B) businesses, the adjustment to manpower costs would trickle down to affect customers, suggested Cedric Tang, a third-generation owner of Ka Soh & Swee Kee Restaurants.

“At the end of the day, the cost is going down to the consumers. Yes, we can hire Singaporeans, yes we can pay more for the (S Pass) levy, but who’s going to foot the bill? The companies are not going to absorb all the cost increase,” he said.

“It’s not that business is bad; business is okay. But you have to hire the manpower to keep moving forward and to recover. We have faced two years of losses and now it's a recovery period.”

Mr Tang added that Singaporeans might not realise the levy, in addition to the raise in minimum qualifying salaries for S Pass holders, also hurts F&B businesses.

“And that’s the cost that will ultimately trickle down to the consumers. Everyone loses, but the consumer is the one that loses more,” he said.

********.

just straight to point.

I will never sacrifice my money for luxury life to maintain price and increase wage

 

[kl2015]

Giving u a heads up dont kpkb when they raise price, it’s all the govt fault.. they also bo bian and cry victim..

Anyway end of the day is to maintain their level of profit la.. they had enjoyed this amount all along and increasing over the years.. with the increase cost, naturally they will increase their top line to maintain the increase in bottom line..

(of course to some that are really struggling to breakeven then yes this is a harsh news to them, maybe time to exit)

why must make the top management happy? dun like dun be a shareholder

 

[kl2015]

it helps if they stop thinking of changing cars every 2 yrs or so

it helps too if they stop thinking of expanding and neglect the quality of food as well

no, must change
later shame in front of relatives

 

[kl2015]

Business is not bad means good business can absorb the cost increase, instead of always pushing for higher profits margins for the boss to change big house and big car

u do that they wun have interest to do business already
why do business if cannot earn more profit for my luxury life

 

[hmsweethm]

pls la...f&b industry is well known to suppress salaries for both locals and foreigners

Yup. All these fnb bosses wan drive big cars and buy properties.
Then suppress the salaries and working conditions.

 

[Cokacola]

Means time to be bbfa camp at home eat

 

[kl2015]

Consumers will boycott, F&B business which cannot survive will close down, consumers will only lose some choice of F&B outlets they can patronise only .. isn't that the way it's suppose to work ?

then when they see this nobody wanna do business anymore
if cannot jackup price to earn extra profit

 

[kl2015]

And then what? You want all businesses to close down? So that there are no jobs left for anyone.

You really deserve to be replaced by FTs

nah,make elite ppl suffer and cannot exit Singapore
then see how
