I've worked with one of the people that founded NOX here in Denmark and the main issue for bars, restaurants etc. is fixed costs (rent, salaries, electricity, music/TV licensing and so forth) which he estimated averages out to 70-75% of total costs - at least in the major cities. This means that the remaining 25% of costs (alcohol and ingredients for meals, basically) have to generate enough profit to shoulder the "dead" weight of the fixed ones. I put dead in quotes because employees and licenses certainly aren't without value, it's just pretty hard to estimate it compared to spending X on beer + wine and setting a sale value on them. This is also why Covid was so devastating for the industry, since you didn't get to escape your rent which is the biggest single cost by far.

Eh, rent, rent is the number one cause for restaurants folding up, at least in places like HK, which is the most extreme case.

Exactly, it’s not just restaurants, almost all business that survived the first 3 years and dies later, it’s because of rent.

There truly are problems in restaurant industry, a lot of problems. But the idea that it has anything to do with skin color or patriarchy is ridiculous.

7°C is not cold. Denmark is the tropics of Scandinavia.

It's been this cold for several days now here in Bern after days or rather weeks of it being significantly warmer. It feels SOOOOOO cold now!

Noma is not closing, it's just a bs marketing scam. Good luck booking a table for the next year.

I worked over a decade as a Chef and during covid 😷 I had to work remotely in customer service industry. Never returned to my former profession because I was shocked how unfairly treated were been 😅 I was literally always burnt out emotionally and physically but I never realized that until I stopped I thought everyone was the same I mean work is work right? No, restaurant industry is nightmare

you must change the economic system, and organization of society to really change the restaurant-business, otherwise it's just kicking the can further down the road, maybe a kinder and more beutiful way, but the can is still being kicked... This question also needs to be addressed: do we really need restaurants? and do we relly need them this bad? What do this need of extrem luxury consuming of food reflect upon society? What viods are beeing filled?

You deserve som much more KZread attention! this is a quality video. Thank you!

Great video! I didn’t know this was a problem. The cooperative system sounds amazing! I would definitely liked to do that

You wouldn't freeze so much if you had warmer clothes

Noma is closing? 😅 When. They’ve been fake-closing for 3 seasons now 🤡🤦🏼‍♀️

Interesting topic

the co op seems happiest

This is incredible!

Thank you, Salem! 🙏🏽

So...restaurants are closing because...racism (2:45). Wow

Spreading this video around as fast as possible I'm sorry the algorithm buried it!!

This was so interesting, I really loved the co-op restaurant, thanks Salem

Thank you brother. This helped me so much. I am also going to open a restaurant too.

Salem thank you for the voice you are in this world.

Calling restaurants white supremacy structure makes 99% immediately laugh in your face. This is ridiculous

She talked about the concept of fine dining, which is in general a very creme de la creme kind of experience. Would call it more classist perhaps.

@@Jordan-xg4pn i think the owner of Lola made a good point, like as long as everyone is compensated fairly, treated well, and the cost is shouldered by the rich (meaning that only the rich can buy it) its fair, she seems very liberal in her outlook, but I also think that if you want to get fancy food and you cant afford it, at least in Denmark (where I live lol) you can attain it if you really want it (for some its gonna be harder than for others, but given that you can at basically anytime pick up a trade, and start doing work and under the counter deals with friends and family, it is not impossible. No its not classist (in DK, idk about US) if you want to try you absolutely can

🎉🎉🥳🥳

Hope this new philosophy spreads to other countries

I want to visit that co-op restaurant and try everything!

i can smell the war crimes committed .... this calls for a special UN tribunal....

sensational

You should wear a helmet when cycling in Copenhagen Great video Far more places in Copenhagen closes than cities like Esbjerg, Odense and Silkeborg and a reason I know of, is that the younger generation don't care about fancy dishes and 3 stars michelin. They want warm-hearty, unpretty meals. They want culture, spices and diversity. Aarhus Street Food is a great place

wow, every single person in this report is a story.
