Add all Renee Erickson restaurants to the list of deceptive pricing tactics

Hi all. I just wanted to inform the Seattle foodie scene about the happenings within the industry. Every Renee Erickson spot now adds a “22% Service Fee” in place of tips, and from that money about half of it goes directly to corporate, and out of the hands of anyone actually working in whichever restaurant you visit. Since the wording is intentionally deceptive, many people assume this service fee goes to the service staff.

From what I hear, this has resulted in some employees, with years invested in the company, taking a pay cut of around $20,000 annually.

Anyways, I saw the post about Mox Cafe and just wanted to add another to the list.

Cheers.
