P's Pizza in Dakota Dunes is planning on taking employee tips to cover credit card costs. Seems like a good place to boycot.
Your boycott will ensure they make less tips.
they should be paying the employees 2% commission for every sale they make on a credit card.... it's money and sales coming in.
That's insane. Let's say the average tip is 20%. They're effectively taking 10% of servers' income. I would start looking for another job.
Damn. If I worked at a shitty pizza place and saw that I'd quit.
I can’t tell what they’re saying but if I was an employee my response would be F you
2 percent on all sales deduction for the server. My bad. It appears that servers don't receive tips at this restaurant. They are still subject to a processing fee. Bartenders and hosts receive the 2 percent deduct on ALL sales and not just tips.
They say 2% of all cc sales and also 2% of cc fees. The first is obviously much larger, no?
I wonder if it’s just a badly worded memo. The typical credit card fees are 2% that seems redundant. Not to mention that 2% of 2 % is insignificant.
I hated it when the covid hit and everyone was take out only and then this thing happened: tips for people just manning the cash register for take out: no server involved/ add custom tip. a pop up on the screen for add 20%. just for manning the register? do you think this is total sales now and the credit card adds a fee on the tips as well? I bet they do.
Read the paragraph starting with "Effective Monday". That is for tipped employees. The next paragraph is for servers. They are apparently not tipped employees but still must absorb a percentage of the processing fee.
They're taking 2% of all credit card charges off the top. So if someone charges a $100 bill on a credit card, they're taking $2 out of the tip.
Wow, that's bad.
I could MAYBE justify 2% of the tip to cover the cost of the credit card fee of just the tip (hehe, just the tip). So a $10 tip incurs a $.20 charge back, but at that point it's just petty, and if the restaurant can't cover that then maybe it shouldn't be a restaurant.

That's not how I'm reading it.
I'm reading it as 2% of the bill is coming out of the EE's pay.
IDK.
Print is small and I can't see worth a chit anymore.
that's what I saw as well. these owners and managers are idiots. you cannot punish your sales people for making sales. waitress is a sales position. pass it on the the customer. charge $12 for a $10 pizza. they can go to domino's or papa johns if they want cheap.
One thing for sure, this is a confusing memo. They need some clear examples.
something tells me they are losing their butts and are desperate and about to go under
Same. If I have $1,000 in credit card sales, they’re taking $20 out of my tip that night. At least that’s what I’m reading at the beginning.
But then they say “For servers…2% of CC fees…”. Assuming 2.5% credit card fees, that would be 2% of $25, which is .50 deduction. If that is what they mean it just seems stupid to risk such a backlash for such a small amount.
just went to the website, looks like good food in the photos. philly cheesesteaks, bacon burgers craft beers pizza.
If I make $1000 sales for somebody they ought to give me 10 percent at least in commission maybe 20%. I would demand 200 bucks from them!! ha ha
It is. There are locations in Le Mars and Dakota Dunes.
This whole thing was certainly not a masterclass in leadership, organizational communication, or public relations. Oof...
That is about a 50/50 split from my experience as most processors are charging 3.5-4%. For some businesses, that's a chunk, not saying I advocate the policy though. I worked for a commercial office furniture dealership and the fees would eat 20-25% of the margin on the sale. We ended up having to pass it along.
That said, I would love to see their calculations. Guessing there is some fudging going on.

I don't know, this kind of seems like a non-statement.
I rarely pay at restraunts with anything but cash. Cash is king and they avoid the credit charge and keeps prices down! Plus your server will appreciate cash as well!
