I really liked the food at the Cold Spring Road House. It was one of my favorite Restaurants. But after reading what the new owners did to their employees and people who had made event plans there, I can't see ever going back.

 

I don't think it's good business to pull the rug out from under members of the community you plan to serve. It's their restaurant, and they can do want they want with it; but I think a little more respect for your employees and the community are in order.

 

 

From today's Enqiuirer:

 

Employees of the Cold Spring Roadhouse found the door to the restaurant padlocked Sunday morning and a sign posted that it was closed.

 

New owners of the 100-year-old landmark and surrounding property on U.S. 27 plan to renovate the building and reopen it as a new restaurant, banquet hall and sports bar by Labor Day.

 

Many employees say they are angry because they got no notice of the closure. Parties and events scheduled at the restaurant have been canceled, employees said.

Stuff like this happens from time to time. It's not hard to find another job it the restaurant industry. It does stink, though, for the employees.

Stinks for these employees. But that's business. Employee's have no obligation to give two weeks notice, of course it's recommended, but not necessary. Sometimes things like this happen.

I think it's a lousy way to treat people. What about all the people who had made special plans to bring big groups there? I just think it's wrong...and not very wise.

I ate there Saturday night with a group of 25 folks and it took us 3 hours to get the food and than the bill.They gave us a trainee for a waitress and it was a disaster.:irked:

I don't think it's right either, but it does happen way too often anymore. Look at Jillians. The same thing happened there. Plus, I don't buy their story that the had no notice they had to close down. When they laid out the plans with the contractor, they had to know right then and there that they wouldn't have been able to stay open. If it took them 3 weeks before they knew they had to close down, then that's one contractor I don't want to do work with.

Though the two week notice is not mandatory as you stated, it may have a negative tone for the next employer that interviews you and ask why you left your last employment & didn't give a notice. Burning bridges behind you is never a good idea, there is always a slight chance that one may have to go back to that job someday and leaving on good behavior may enable you to do so.

I agree. Your business success relies on your employees and the patrons. How you treat them greatly reflects on your skills as a manager or business owner. I am a firm beleiver that what goes around comes around.

Oh, I agree, and if at all possible I would give two weeks. However, if no two weeks is required at your job, which I'm sure this one is like that, they have no obligation to give you the same notice.

Five Seasons in Crestview Hills sent out notices a few months ago to folks who had made commitments to using them for their wedding reception that they are now remodeling and will not be able to host the reception.

 

Think there a few PO'd families in NKY?

Yep, considering you have to book most places almost a year in advance.

Our fraternity used this place on several occassions for different events, plus it was an nice alternative to Applebee's or BW3's which would always be packed for big games...we'd go there instead and have a few wings and beverages. I don't really know how I feel about this change, but I guess we'll see when the new place opens.

That is what is wrong with the world today. Where is the consideration for others? Unfortunately we have turned into a "look out for #1" world. If I had been the owners thinking of remodeling, I would certainly let the employees know. That is just me.
