In a sweeping change to how most of its 1,800 employees are paid, the Union Square Hospitality Group will eliminate tipping at Union Square Cafe and its 12 other restaurants by the end of next year, the company’s chief executive, Danny Meyer, said on Wednesday. The move will affect New York City businesses. The first will be the Modern, inside the Museum of Modern Art, starting next month. The others will gradually follow.
A small number of restaurants around the country have reduced or eliminated tipping in the last several years. Some put a surcharge on the bill, allowing the restaurants to set the pay for all their employees. Others, including Bruno Pizza, a new restaurant in the East Village, factor the cost of an hourly wage for servers into their menu prices. Union Square Hospitality Group will do the latter.
The Modern will be the pilot restaurant, Mr. Meyer said, because its chef, Abram Bissell, has been agitating for higher pay to attract skilled cooks. The average hourly wage for kitchen employees at the restaurant is expected to rise to $15.25 from $11.75. Mr. Meyer said that restaurants such as his needed to stay competitive as the state moved to a $15 minimum wage for fast-food workers. If cooks’ wages do not keep pace with the cost of living, he said, "it’ s not going to be sustainable to attract the culinary talent that the city needs to keep its edge." Mr. Meyer said he hoped to be able to raise pay for junior dining room managers and for cooks, dishwashers and other kitchen workers.
The wage gap is one of several issues cited by restaurateurs who have deleted the tip line from checks. Some believe it is unfair for servers’ pay to be affected by factors that have nothing to do with performance. A rash of class-action lawsuits over tipping irregularities, many of which have been settled for millions of dollars, is a mounting worry.
Scott Rosenberg, an owner of Sushi Yasuda in Manhattan, said in an interview in 2013 that he had eliminated tipping so his restaurant could more closely follow the customs of Japan, where tipping is rare. He said he also hoped his customers would enjoy leaving the table without having to solve a math problem. While Drew Nieporent, who owns nine restaurants in New York City and one in London, said he doubted the average diner would accept an increase in prices. "Tipping is a way of life in this country," he said. "It may not be the perfect system, but it’s our system. It’s an American system."
By "do the latter"(Para. 2), the writer probably means Union Square Hospitality Group will______.
选项
A、reduce tips
B、decrease prices
C、explain that prices include "hospitality"
D、provide blank lines for tips on checks
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第二段。该段的首句是主题句“在过去几年里,美 国的少数几家餐馆减少或取消了小费”,第二、三句分别介绍了两个情况,句首由Some 和Others引导。第四句说了联合广场餐饮集团的做法,将采用后者,即Others所在的句 子。factor作为动词,意为“把……作为因素计人”,故第三句意为“还有些餐馆是把服务 员的平均小时工资加到菜价里”。因此C项“解释说明菜价包含‘服务费’”与文章一致, 为正确答案。A项“减少小费”和B项“降低菜价”明显错误。D项“在账单上留出填写小 费的空白栏”是前者的做法,也排除。
