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."
Why does Danny Meyer make the Modern be the first restaurant to eliminate tipping?
选项
A、Tips can not be distributed to its skilled cooks.
B、Its chef argues strongly for higher pay to attract culinary talents.
C、The wages its cooks earn do not keep pace with the cost of living.
D、Compensation chefs receive remains roughly the same with servers’.
答案
B
解析
细节题。题干中部分关键词在第一段中出现过,但与题干问题相关的内容出现在 第三段。该段第一句中的pilot相当于题干中的the first,该句意为“梅耶说,现代餐厅之 所以成为试点餐厅是因为它的大厨艾布拉姆.比塞尔一直主张通过支付更高的报酬来 吸引熟练厨师”,故B项“它的大厨主张通过支付更高的报酬来吸引熟练厨师”为正确答 案,B项中的argues strongly和culinary talents分别是文中agitating和skilled cooks的同 义替换。A项“小费不能分配给它的熟练厨师"的干扰性较大,但B项更佳。C项和D项 原文没有提及,也不是题干的原因。
