The Las Iguanas restaurant chain, part of the Casual Dining Group, which includes Bella Italia, Cafe Rouge and La Tasca, announced it is scrapping the 10% administration fee it deducts from staff tips. Las Iguanas said its proposed policy will not impose administration fees, and the chain will not give a share of tips to the company or its management, following pressure by staff and the public. We gather that Pizza Hut has also revised its policy regarding the tipping of staff.
In August the business secretary, Sajid Javid, launched an investigation into the abuse of tipping. This inquiry runs until 10 November.
Note:
Sajid Javid is a British Conservative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament for Bromsgrove since 2010 and Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills since 11 May 2015.
Tips are a 'thank you 'for good service by staff members. Companies pocketing them is absolutely wrong and we are glad this practise is getting the ‘heave ho’.
