wimmisky how is he forcing them? They all look happy to be there. If they didn’t want to be there they wouldn’t be in this video. Keep in mind New York is the land of high taxes and cost of living so if anything the profits are going towards making sure they don’t close down and the ones working are still able to get paid.

Damm bruv, you were needed 6 years ago when I was cooking

“We had almost about 100 employees, now I think there’s about 15 of us that’s working but it’s sad. We’re doing this so that we can cook going so that by the time we’re ready to open after all this pandemic is over then we can have the whole team back.” (This line got me teary eyed)

Simon is an example how owner walk extra miles to maintain his team healthy. Preparing vitamins with his own hands is next level compassion. I wish Cote the best and keep surviving in this uncertain times.

Dude they went from over 100 people to 15 :/ I used to work at a place like this, and they fired me as soon as they started to see some revenue losses in March. Even if my place stayed open like this one, they probably would have only kept the highest level people. Notice how managers are doing things prep cooks would normally do in this video.

I can see why they are a Michelin Star Restaurant. From food to service, the pride and love they show for their work is plain to see. They go above and beyond. I don't know about others but I will be making a at Cote as soon as possible to be a patron to this inspirational establishment. Appreciation and respect to Cote from California.

Awesome keep it up

This is great. Proving that we don't all have to drown in a bowl of water when working in Gastronomy. I was working at a restaurant in Austria and I lost my job after the lockdown because my boss didn't have the mind to come across these brilliant ideas...also instead of being given an immunity boost package I was coughed at. I needed to see this workforce, thank you. And to all my hotel/gastronomy/tourism workers, stay strong!

I wish the restaurant I'm at had the ability to do take it, but we are too small to make it work without hemorrhaging more money than we do being closed

That tablet idea is amazing

I wish the Michelin star restaurant I worked at didn’t fire me as soon as this shit popped off. I would have gladly helped come up with a sustainable delivery menu, or even deliver the food. It sucks when people who work at White Castle and Popeyes have more job security than actual cooks. The only people they worried about are their higher ups. Even in this video they said they went from over 100 employees to 15. I wonder how many prep cooks, garmo and line cooks were let go. All these munchies episodes only get the perspective of the owners and the staff that the owners chose to keep, which is fine, but I wanna see one about the cooks that were doing all the grunt work day in and day out, only to be let go as soon as the owners salary comes into question. And now these higher ups act all high and mighty doing what we used to do (prep and butcher etc) saying “it takes a village” after they fired us. Fuck that
