Can a worker-owned restaurant work?

The pizza restaurant (gourmet pizza, not crap) around the corner where I live is workers owned. The previous owner went bankrupt and left his employees hanging out to dry, so they took ownership of the place. Not sure about the legal situation (e.g. whether they bought the restaurant from the owner or what) but it&#x27;s been workers owned for the past few years and doing well, judging by how full it always is. I eat and take out from there and it&#x27;s pretty good quality.<p>This is not the first decent workers owned restaurant I&#x27;ve known, so I&#x27;m going to answer: yes, it can work.

Yes, absolutely, but there are pitfalls:<p>* Somehow finances have to work, which is usually a harsh reality for some. Ex: Hey we can&#x27;t pay workers $250&#x2F;hr without raises prices to above what customers are willing to pay<p>* Consumers despite &quot;Least common denominator&quot; which is often the result of &quot;design by committee&quot;. Usually consumers are after something niche, unique, artistic, and creative, which is the inspiration or vision of an individual.<p>&gt; As for making business decisions, it’s done democratically. The entirety of the member-owner group votes on major decisions, and the bylaws outline scenarios where employees are authorized to act independently of a vote<p>I don&#x27;t see this working in the long term unfortunately unless a majority of the workers have a lot experience with business, especially something as cashflow-sensitive as a restaurant (which typically operate on razor-thin margins). But I do wish them luck in their experiment.

This seems fine during the good times, but I can imagine a big problem of having a no-hierarchy worker-owned operation is what happens when the market shrinks and you can&#x27;t afford to pay everyone the promised minimum salary. Do you all just collectively agree to take less money?<p>What about the one person who actually can&#x27;t afford to do that because they&#x27;d already budgeted assuming that money was coming in?<p>What about if you need to reduce headcount? Do you just all vote on who should be fired in effectively a popularity contest that will cause build up of resentment later on? Draw the shortest straw? In this case, an &quot;owner&quot; is probably best because they can all collectively &quot;hate&quot; the owner and bond together as staff.<p>What about if someone is secretly planning to leave in the next few months and wants their money now as salary rather than investing in long term projects for the company, etc... They might destabilise the long-term success of the company if they vote not to invest, but be unmotivated and work poorly if they know some of &quot;their money&quot; was invested and they&#x27;re never going to see it.<p>There seem to be so many edge cases where the traditional hierarchy structure seems like the best viable solution. There are some examples of co-operatives in the UK, the most famous is John Lewis. I think they work around it by just running mostly like a normal business, paying fairly normal salaries for different roles, but then bonuses for profit sharing.

Toronto has a good and popular seafood restaurant downtown that I understand operates as a worker-owned cooperative.<p>Of course hierarchy is unnecessary, but there are a lot of people with resources and vested interest in it appearing otherwise.<p>The group in the article take the approach of consensus-based decision making. For high velocity work like in a software company, I am more interested in the consent-based decision making processes pioneered by the Quakers and formalized in frameworks like Sociocracy.

I’m curious about how the partnership works and would have liked more details on how it works. In particular after 6 months, do people still have to put in $1000? If the staffing level increases does everyone’s stake get diluted? When you stop working there what happens to your invested capital? Do you maintain profit sharing? Do you get bought out? Does it work like law firms and other professional partnerships?

This model really should be expanded to just about everything. Revenue per employee ratio at Apple is $2.4 million a person or so. If that company were to shift from the present shareholder model to a cooperative model, its not hard to imagine labor seeing some substantial gains. Having more money in the part of the economy that actually circulates more of their income would probably bring on wider economic benefits as well, compared to the present where some of that revenue might go on to be parked in unproductive, perhaps even unhelpful, speculative investments like gold or oil.

Is this a chain-style restaurant? Fine dining haute cuisine? Fast food?<p>What happens when they don&#x27;t want to do the actual work anymore? Do they still keep their partial ownership of the restaurant and hire wagies? What if they can&#x27;t work anymore? It&#x27;s not easy to step and fetch for 10 hours a day at age 50. What if they just need to reduce their schedule to 10 hours a week (and not pull their weight)?<p>What if most people willing to do grunt work also aren&#x27;t very good at managing a restaurant? At menus, at book keeping? What if people prefer to be served by the cute young things that you tend to see at many chains (even if they&#x27;re dressed more modestly than those at Hooters)? You know, the same sort of people who are just unlikely to want to become invested in such a place, where they&#x27;ll be tied down to it?

There’s a whole chain of department stores and supermarkets in the UK that’s ‘worker owned’ John Lewis which also operates Waitrose supermarkets. It’s a partnership, everyone that works there becomes a partner in the firm after a probation period. It’s a successful business; there’s a John Lewis in every big city in Britain and Waitrose is in many large towns and cities.

Very interesting reading the comments. My impression is that a lot of people saying this can’t possibly work are in the camp of “one day I’ll found a business and this kind of thing could ruin that”. It’s the same thinking that says “don’t tax billionaires - one day I might be one!”.

This reads to me like it&#x27;s written to evangelize the concept of worker co-ops more than to earnestly investigate the question posed in the title - which is fine, but this doesn&#x27;t seem like a very good example to choose to make that point.<p>They say they have ten employees, and the buy-in for ownership is a thousand dollars. But there&#x27;s no way the start up capital for a quality restaurant in Seattle was only $10k, so either the original founders absorbed those costs or some later employees paid in extra to cover them - either way with no expectation of increased control or return. That&#x27;s more charity than alternative economic organization.<p>They also mention that the business has been around for ten years, but isn&#x27;t profitable - and it&#x27;s implied probably never has been on any consistent basis, or they would certainly have called that out. Somebody is covering that shortfall, and they&#x27;re not getting anything in exchange for doing so - very noble, but again that&#x27;s a reliance on charity for the business to continue existing.<p>Can a worker-owned restaurant work? Sure, I think there are plenty of examples that prove it. Does this one work? Not as a business, by any reasonable standard.

This is a really fascinating idea. At its heart, it’s a charity in which the person risking their capital assumes all the risks, while gifting the potential rewards. Big kudos to the beautiful, big-souled gentleman who put it together.

Like so many idealistic things, this kind of setup works only as long as the people joining or taking responsibility for the thing continue to have and practice the same ideals as what started it.<p>Start to lose that just a little bit, where responsibility gets diffuse, the original intention gets lost, or you start hiring people who don&#x27;t have the same understanding, and it all falls apart.<p>Not every worker wants to have an equal share of the grunt work. Not every worker believes that they contribute equally to the success of the restaurant and are willing to split the proceeds in that way. Not every worker wants to have to live the restaurant as if it&#x27;s their life.<p>Worker owned coops have as many failure modes as &quot;evil&quot; corporate ones do. And in some senses are all the more disappointing because of it.

Coming from the Socialist Republic of Denmark, this seems like a very silly question. Why should ownership be a problem for restaurants?<p>If a restaurant is owned by an investment fund, the fund will try to get as much money out of it as possible, regardless of the restaurant&#x27;s long-term fate. But owned by the workers, they have a common interest in having good and secure jobs for a long time to come, and so can set up running parameters to best ensure that.<p>Now the _leadership_ is a different matter. If everybody tries to be the head chef,.you get a confusion. But that is distinct from ownership and can be arranged in many different ways, some of which work.<p>If all business were worker-owned, one would be right to ask whether a nom-worker-owned business could work.

I&#x27;d prefer the term Owner-Worked... because once you&#x27;re an owner, you shouldn&#x27;t be able to just think of yourself as a &quot;worker&quot;. It&#x27;s about taking responsibility for more than your assigned role. That&#x27;s what owners do.

Worker ownership leads to more stable companies that tend to put more wealth in the pockets of workers and fuck customers less. The problem is getting enough startup capital from people who despise the idea.

It can, but it will have problem scaling<p>- If the business grows and starts needing management skills beyond what a cook or a waiter would have, you will have trouble hiring a qualified manager for same wages you pay to waiters - If you need a loan to expand, lender is likely to want some control over how a restaurant is run rather than leaving it up to workers<p>If you are content to stay at a small scale where these factors do not matter, sure go ahead.

Curious about how the business responds to workers leaving&#x2F;joining. I expect that a worker wanting to leave needs to find someone to buy in, and the new worker has to be approved by the collective. This sounds like a recipe for inflexible departure.<p>Next, expansion. I expect expansion is a tricky proposition because it means dilution, which is both a hard sell and a risk to the workers.

Why doesn&#x27;t the word &quot;rent&quot; appear in here anywhere? If the landlord becomes aware that the restaurant pays way above industry norms, it will raise the rents at the earliest opportunity to squeeze that money back out of the business. Either they own the building or have an existing long-term lease.

Employee-owned co-ops are extremely common in Southern Europe. The Mondragon Corporation has 81,000 employees. Your ideological bias is showing if you think this is even a question. Empirically speaking, the answer is a resounding yes.

The answer is yes. It has also been well studied (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Workplace_democracy" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Workplace_democracy</a>). If you want to understand more of the history, look at the IWW, or other resources such as the Chomsky&#x27;s book A People&#x27;s History. Usually the idea that it will not work is a capitalist view pushed from the top down onto workers. I.E. You are not smart enough, or you are too lazy, to be productive without a figure of authority making decisions for you. Even the concept of what is considered productive use of time can be a topic of discussion in this regard. Anarchy is largely misunderstood also, it is a philosophy that focuses on the collective making decisions, instead of a central figure of authority.<p>Ref: Noam Chomsky on Worker Ownership and Markets <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RafTFDwImrU">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RafTFDwImrU</a>

One thing that I never understood was, if an employees wages are tied to the success of the company, would that not incentivize better work ethic as a whole? That is how it works in the start-up world. You get equity, you have literally invested in the company, and you know that your work should (in theory) directly benefit you financially.<p>Instead we end up in a system where the employee&#x2F;employer relationship is inherently antagonistic. If you work at McDonalds, in is 100% in your interest to do the absolute bare minimum possible to not be fired, and in your employers interest to pay you as little as legally possible. This costs more overhead and resources from managers, and dealing with angry customers, and food loss&#x2F;waste, which could largely be avoided if the employees were invested in the success of the workplace.

It reminds me of when people complain about stuff like Electron apps.<p>If you hate it, go do it yourself. You’ll either a) succeed and solve your problem or b) develop a much more complete understanding of the problems being faced by someone in a different role.<p>I think every worker would benefit from being more involved in the business operations, or really any other jobs that help their company&#x2F;project function.<p>(of course it’s probably not practical to do so)

Not in any successful way, because the entire profit margin is being eaten by delivery companies like Uber Eats. There is no financial future in restaurants, worker-owned or not.
