[News] Jamie Oliver’s Restaurants Administration!

[Stat Brother]

I should have followed the Nando's business plan:-

'Only sell 1 thing.
Write it differently across the menu.
Hope enough gullible tosspots out there to stupid to realise they're eating at a low grade KFC'.

It seems to be working for them.

 

[Chicken Run]

This.

Good old fashioned schadenfreude, wishing ill on someone. Fuelled for some because he’s had the courage to mention the crap kids eat and the resulting obesity epidemic.

[emoji23] Utter nonsense, you’re over thinking it, not one of the detractors has mentioned that, nor would they as no one is arguing the hard work his does in the community.

I think successive Governments allowing the flooding of the market with cheap Chinese steel is more than likely the answer to that one.
Simple answer, any new building project, flats, shopping centres, retail parks only get planning permission If British steel is used.

Problem is Chinese money is funding half the projects so that’s why they use it.

Unfortunately it looks like EU law is preventing the Government stepping in now.If British steel can just hang on in there till October 31st it could be saveable.

Who cares. Cluster **** of a business plan

Last time I went in there pizza wasn't on the menu. Not returned.

Absolutely not the case. Literally not even close. British Steel is ran by a bunch of morons who are a result of the Tata days when every quarter, Tata would pump £150m into the company. Board of directors have not adapted British Steel at all to cope. Rather than dealing with their absolutely absurd sales strategy of giving everyone 120 day payment terms when they can only acquire 30 day terms with their suppliers, they continued to hope that Greybull would come on bull back with a bag of cash.

So why did the government bail out their EUETS bill?

Pizza express is ludicrously expensive and seems to thrive.

If you ignore they are loss-making with over £1bn of debt perhaps...

You could say: Pizza Express knead the dough

What did you expect? It's a steel foundry.

 

[Wozza]

I remember when he launched a magazine.

The opening words in his intro were: "Well, what can I say?"

Not being funny, you fat-tongued Mockney tw@t, but you probably should have thought about that before the launch.

 

[Blue3]

So basically you like his food, but not his choice in crockery!

Well now you put it like that yes

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I went once with work colleagues and will never return. It was dreadful even the salad dressing.

 

[clapham_gull]

I think the footnote will be the over expansion of a mediocre product.

The key to Jamie Oliver's success is teaching people to make enjoyable, accessible and easy to prepare food at home.

Not sure selling that type of food in a restaurant is a long term business.

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION], with 30 thumb-ups, summed it up ... “Why the hate?”.



In a cut throat sector, with huge rent and rates obligations, Jamie ran this business for 11 years, training up countless individuals, whilst contributing to the Exchequer with PAYE and VAT. Well done to his entrepreneurial endeavour.

 

[Lower West Stander]

And of course administration isn’t liquidation.

CVA?

Bought by creditors?

He'd pumped in a lot of personal cash not long ago when it was looking in trouble.

I've only visited them once or twice, and not recently, but thought the food was pretty decent as chains go. Certainly a step above any of the other large Italian chains I've ever eaten in.

Reported as being 13 million. 4 million less than Persian Ali.

 

[poidy]

The biggest reason this failed was the excessive growth which was undoubtedly fuelled by greed.

A restaurant trading under the Jamie Oliver banner was somewhere unique and somewhere the consumer could go to sample his creations.

By rolling this concept out across the country it just become yet another high street chain. Not somewhere unique, not somewhere special and on a par with somewhere ordinary like Bella Italia for me.

I too do not understand the hatred for him. He's employed so many people over the last 11 years or so and because of his character, he gets slated. So many insults to someone you have never met. Pretty sad.

I've eaten in his restaurant in Black Lion Street a few times. Always good food and certainly not overpriced.

Keep up that hating of successful people, hope it makes you feel better.

you fat-tongued Mockney tw@t

What a lovely fella you are Mr Perfect.
