One thing the audit doesn’t point out is that because sales were so low at the golf course, BC and YC, employees hourly wages had to be increased to meet minimum wage. So while servers were generally hired at $3.63 per hour plus tips, we had to pay a lot more than that to meet minimum wage standards. It was calculated to the penny for every employee.
Excellent point, and totally attributable to terrible management at the top levels, including the board and the interim GM at the time. Beginning Memorial Day I was in John Viola‘s office daily with reports on how bad things were going. Nothing was done to correct it. Finally in early August I went in his office and said “I’m going to change my pitch today. We are well on our way to losing a million dollars. Let’s just go for it and see if we can’t have record setting losses.” And that’s exactly what they did. Disappointing to hear that. Also, the board receives monthly reports and did absolutely nothing to stem the losses at the Yacht Club and Beach Club. |

I have been a business person for 35 years and I cringed at the decisions being made, but I had no authority to do anything other than what I was told. |
