Sarang Kitchen believes in equity
We follow a Hospitality Included (HI) model and discourage tipping because we believe our staff deserves pay equity and our FOH and BOH should both be compensated fairly. The revenue needed to pay them a well above minimum wage has been built into the menu items. .We also provide extended Health benefits for our staff.
Hospitality Included does not mean tips are included in the prices. How are we able to decide how much tips customers should pay and put it in our prices?
Why did we choose to follow the Hospitality Included model?
Firstly, Hospitality Included is designed to compensate the entire team (both FOH and BOH) more equitably, competitively, and professionally, and provides a clear path for career progression. Secondly, with HI in place, staff can be allocated fair compensation that is predictable from day to day, insurable insofar as it increases an employee’s government entitlements such as employment insurance, vacation pay and contributions to the Canada Pension Plan. Lastly, tipping culture is often predatory, punitive, objectifying, sexist, and racist. There is also a lack of legal guidelines when it comes to tipping.
