his December will mark the 7th anniversary of

our restaurant that is in Storrs Connecticut,

right next to UCONN in Storrs Center. The

restaurant has been well received

from people who visit the area for

work, education and business.

Our managing partner, Steve

Smith, along with General Manager

Tiffany Siefert and the entire man-

agement team, have done a fantastic

job of hiring, training and educating

our staff so that we are able to fulfill

ctober 1st, the State of Connecticut imple-mented a new 1% additional Sales Tax onrestaurants. That means the consumer at

restaurants will be paying 7.35% sales tax. The Statehas also implemented a 10% Spirit Excise Tax thatwill be passed onto restaurants and package stores inwholesale costs. Not only that, but beginning at thesame time, the state Minimum Wage increases from$10.10 per hour to $11.00 per hour. It will increaseevery 9 months by $1.00 until it reaches $15.00 perhour on June 1 st of 2023. In 4 years, this willincrease the minimum wage by 48%. This will inturn cause menu prices to increase a minimum of25% in that time frame, but most likely more thanthat as the increases incurred by our suppliers arepassed along to us as well. Throughout this time, wewill hold true to our commitment to high quality,hand-prepared foods at all our restaurants. We willimplement price increases throughout this time tokeep up with this rapid rising cost of business, that isbeing brought to you by the State of Connecticut.

Our Pricing Practices*

1. Sales Tax Included - Our prices include the

6.35% Connecticut Sales Tax + the 1% Restaurant Tax.

The prices listed on the menu are exactly what you pay.

Our prices may seem to be inflated; however, a $14.00

menu item is actually $13.04 + $.96 sales tax. Further-

more, this practice makes it easier for the customer, espe-

cially if that customer is a child who has exact change for

a cookie. What you see is exactly what you pay - what

could be simpler?

2. Not Market Standard Pricing - We are not

trying to fool the customer into thinking that $11.95 is

less expensive than $12.00. We find this type of pricing

insulting to our customers. However, the reason it is

used so extensively around the nation is that it works

effectively. We don’t like that practice, and we also like

to believe that our clientele is not so easily fooled.

3. No Pennies, Dimes or Nickels - Because our

prices include tax and we do not price in the standard

way, we do not have to use pennies, dimes or nickels.

This is a service to both the customer and to us. We

don’t give you lots of change, and we only have to use

quarters and fifty-cent pieces. This also helps our staff to

be more efficient performing transactions, which saves

time and money. An added bonus is that we don’t have

to count change at the end of the business day.
