Pizza Parlor Shutters Doors After ‘Fair Wage’ Plan Bombed

A pizza parlor in Boston was forced to shutter its doors after an attempt to buck capitalism proved an utter failure for business.

Dudley Dough began in 2015 as the brainchild of Haley House, a nonprofit organization. The idea was to offer the Roxbury neighborhood great pizza by a happy staff who is paid much higher than minimum wage and who are rewarded for being an integral part of local community outreach. In their minds, it would be a progressive pizza parlor paradise and put to shame the greedy capitalists who like their pizzas topped only with profit.

However, two years later Haley Houses executive director Bing Broderick has announced that Duddley Dough is done because it’s “not breaking even financially,” according to The Boston Globe, and has been putting undue stress on the nonprofit.

It wasn’t that the restaurant didn’t draw customers; it was very popular. It’s just that economic justice is a terrible business model. But don’t tell the employees that; they refuse to believe that the venture was a failure. Sure, it lasted a whole two years, and perhaps the wages were more than fair, but now, everyone is out of a job. It’s hard to call that a success.

Dec. 12, 2013

An estimated 60 percent of restaurants go out of business within their first three years. The first year is always the hardest— with 44 percent failing to get off the ground.

Tech is killing off America’s independent pizzerias, says industry report

The use of digital food ordering platforms is skyrocketing and it's wreaking havoc on small neighborhood pizza joints throughout the U.S.

According to a new study conducted by restaurant industry consultant Aaron Allen & Associates, independent pizzerias have lost 21 percent of their market share to pizza chains (companies with 10 or more locations). In the past decade, about 7,800 independent pizzerias have closed—with over 2,500 folding last year alone.

That's some funny shit. Always love it when a business tries a "new model" and goes against capitalism, and then everyone at the company is left teary eyed and stunned when the model explodes in their face.

And with that in mind they decided to make their chance of success even more difficult by paying an absurdly high wage to their employees. Another brilliant idea brought to you by the party of intellectuals.

The Liberal/Progressive Utopia is, "nobody is better off than another". Only way for them to achieve their goal is for everybody to be EQUAL.... EQUALLY BROKE!!

(Just ask Venezuelans.... richest(?) oil reserves in the world... what they think of "socialism" NOW!)
