Moe’s Southwest Grill franchise owner responds after employees say they weren’t paid

He Probably lost $3000 a day per location I'm just saying.

This sounds like a franchise owner that is reinvesting profits into other activities and not leaving enough cash flow available to cover operating expenses.

Even if everything he said is true, he would have been able to quickly get financing to cover the gap, either through floating the card network revenue or straight loans.

You can expect this franchise operator to fail soon. I'm sure if someone looked into his finances they would find other red flags.

This guy is a Jerk!

You own 18 Moe's and cant front $300K? 🙄Your business skills suck

Moes Franchise Costs: $659,075 to $1,839,390. He owns 18…..He's crying because he shelled out 100k to pay his own money making employees…Shame on you you multimillionaire

Focus Brands owns Moe's , Schlotzskys and others and the majority of their franchised stores have trouble paying their employees. The corporate echelon is mostly 20 something year old kids who really do not have a clue about the restaurant world. I've been in the restaurant business for over 27 years and haven't ever seen such a display of lack of knowledge within an organization.

When "Shit Happens" makes the local news…

Whatever dude you have how many resteraunts and you dont have back up millions for all problems that could come up…

If he owns 18 locations, then he should have enough money to pay them, despite the credit card issue. Otherwise, he shouldn't be in business!

someone needs to watch to see how many people he fires because of his mistake welcome to moes?

I’m sorry but y’all gonna shut down the whole store cause u gotta wait 3 days for ur pay check 🤣 I get the guy should pay them no matter what but it’s 3 days I think they’ll be alright

Wow… He’s even trying to absolve any remaining sense of self guilt by suggesting it would’ve been worse at the end of the month when rent is due. The narcissism is baffling.

He's full of shit. Why didnt he get a line of credit in rhe 1st place then? And resolve it same day. So why didn't he?

You can blame the banks all you want… YOU are responsible for YOUR employees getting paid. You should always have a failsafe for things like this.
So you pulled 100k of your own money… that's what you should do!! Yet you still didn't have enough to pay your employee's.
Blame the banks all you want, YOU screwed up!

What had happened was

Someone else’s fault….🤫

Wouldn’t want to work for this idiot. Put the blame on someone else and not take responsibility for his stupidity.
