Why Copenhagen is Abolishing Restaurants

[@apophisstr6719]

Eh, rent, rent is the number one cause for restaurants folding up, at least in places like HK, which is the most extreme case.

[@tokiomitohsaka7770]

Exactly, it’s not just restaurants, almost all business that survived the first 3 years and dies later, it’s because of rent.

I worked over a decade as a Chef and during covid 😷 I had to work remotely in customer service industry. Never returned to my former profession because I was shocked how unfairly treated were been 😅 I was literally always burnt out emotionally and physically but I never realized that until I stopped I thought everyone was the same I mean work is work right? No, restaurant industry is nightmare

[@Zinras]

I've worked with one of the people that founded NOX here in Denmark and the main issue for bars, restaurants etc. is fixed costs (rent, salaries, electricity, music/TV licensing and so forth) which he estimated averages out to 70-75% of total costs - at least in the major cities. This means that the remaining 25% of costs (alcohol and ingredients for meals, basically) have to generate enough profit to shoulder the "dead" weight of the fixed ones. I put dead in quotes because employees and licenses certainly aren't without value, it's just pretty hard to estimate it compared to spending X on beer + wine and setting a sale value on them. This is also why Covid was so devastating for the industry, since you didn't get to escape your rent which is the biggest single cost by far.

There truly are problems in restaurant industry, a lot of problems. But the idea that it has anything to do with skin color or patriarchy is ridiculous.

Yeah when she was like "Its because of high testosterone" it kinda sounded just as "Its because they are black / arab / jewish etc..." Then she follows up with "I am not a communist" - clearly she is not. Anothereise she would have known that economy produces culture, not the other way round.

[@bestkidsk9507]

yea this leftie commie gotta feed his narrative somehow

[@sirvaniss]

Okay, I'll bite: in what way do you think the restaurant industry is immune to issues of race, gender, or things like class or sexuality? Or do you just think those aren't issues in society more generally?

[@MysticScapes]

Noma is not closing, it's just a bs marketing scam. Good luck booking a table for the next year.

[@yeskimkim]

You deserve som much more KZbin attention! this is a quality video. Thank you!

[@evermoredragon892]

This was so interesting, I really loved the co-op restaurant, thanks Salem

[@andreamorales8129]

Great video! I didn’t know this was a problem. The cooperative system sounds amazing! I would definitely liked to do that

[@Free_Falastin2024]

7°C is not cold. Denmark is the tropics of Scandinavia.

[@camelopardalis84]

It's been this cold for several days now here in Bern after days or rather weeks of it being significantly warmer. It feels SOOOOOO cold now!

[@timetolive8828]

the co op seems happiest

[@JacobCloete]

Thank you brother. This helped me so much. I am also going to open a restaurant too.

[@dpclerks09]

Good luck.

[@Trave13r]

all the best.

[@thecaribbeanhousewife]

Thank you, Salem! 🙏🏽

[@xondeez757]

i mean why would i pay 100 euros for "fine" dining when the next door kebab shop offers delicious food for 10euros? its not like the fine dining makes the meat any better

[@UltraPatate]

Because it’s not local food, it’s food for Africans

[@quincyquincy4764]

I love this!

[@herehereyo]

This is incredible!

[@estherkag]

Noma is closing? 😅 When. They’ve been fake-closing for 3 seasons now 🤡🤦🏼‍♀️

[@whostheplum1711]

Spreading this video around as fast as possible I'm sorry the algorithm buried it!!

[@eerie87]

Wow this is such a high quality video, thank you and subbed!

[@ChristopherMH]

So...restaurants are closing because...racism (2:45). Wow

[@elshazlio]

Hope this new philosophy spreads to other countries

[@ziechfred]

You wouldn't freeze so much if you had warmer clothes

[@jessvs6124]

I want to visit that co-op restaurant and try everything!

[@tobim5574]

Calling restaurants white supremacy structure makes 99% immediately laugh in your face. This is ridiculous

[@Jordan-xg4pn]

She talked about the concept of fine dining, which is in general a very creme de la creme kind of experience. Would call it more classist perhaps.

[@bigdaddy69420]

@@Jordan-xg4pn i think the owner of Lola made a good point, like as long as everyone is compensated fairly, treated well, and the cost is shouldered by the rich (meaning that only the rich can buy it) its fair, she seems very liberal in her outlook, but I also think that if you want to get fancy food and you cant afford it, at least in Denmark (where I live lol) you can attain it if you really want it (for some its gonna be harder than for others, but given that you can at basically anytime pick up a trade, and start doing work and under the counter deals with friends and family, it is not impossible. No its not classist (in DK, idk about US) if you want to try you absolutely can

[@Kuricang31]

And to know that the one who said that is a White makes it way more ridiculous lol

[@razor2k911]

Interesting topic

[@KrazyKaas]

You should wear a helmet when cycling in Copenhagen Great video Far more places in Copenhagen closes than cities like Esbjerg, Odense and Silkeborg and a reason I know of, is that the younger generation don't care about fancy dishes and 3 stars michelin. They want warm-hearty, unpretty meals. They want culture, spices and diversity. Aarhus Street Food is a great place

[@AdriandeSilva-rl3lg]

i can smell the war crimes committed .... this calls for a special UN tribunal....

[@Kuricang31]

0:05 Her face looks like the face of a person that'll immediately throw tantrum and call you names when you didn't do exactly what she wanted lol

[@sirvaniss]

Based on? What about all of the men throwing tantrums in this video because things aren't going perfectly?

[@ML_____]

cph is the worst capital in the world for food.🤣

[@sadeekahsaban162]
