It’s an idea that’ll attract the Internet: in this restaurant, you can pay whatever amount you want after your meal, because the owners believe that humans are kind in nature.
Well, it does attract the Internet, the people but not the money. A restaurant in China, Guiyang, opened on 2 October 2016, and offered an outrageous promotion: pay what you want. It’s a risk that the owners are willing to take, but it seems like reality has finally knocked them hard.
After a week, the restaurant lost well over SGD$20,000. People were either paying just 10% of the bill or simply leave SGD$0.20. And it’s not because the food is bad.
According to one of the owner, Liu Xiaojun, she claimed that customers have said that the food is filling and tasty. In other words, they were not paying the full amount not due to the bad food or service. Not that this is the first case.
In 2013, another restaurant in China did the same thing. The owner had once said, “I don’t run a business. I run a trust.” And “trust” caused the restaurant to then lose the same amount (SGD$20,000) in a month, and soon, SGD$20,000 a week.
It is unknown whether the restaurant is still operating, as the owner has a full-time job as an interior designer. What do you think if this is implemented in Singapore?
Given our culture of people even dabao-ing buffet food, I think it won’t just be a loss of SGD$20,000 a week—it’ll be SGD$20,000 a day.
It’s time for more people to understand that passion, trust or whatever feel-good word would only inflate your ego, not your stomach.
