Denny's Trinidad closing down

[RedVEVO]

I think forex issues was the LEAST of their issues, have only been once and that was probably more than a year ago, as we sat down going through the menu "oh we don't have this, and this, neither this... but we have everything else" went to order french toast "oh we don't have the usual bread to make it but you can still have it with regular slices bread" if i wanted a Kiss bread french toast I'd make it at home. My first and last time. Never thought it was a good idea bringing that chain here, I guess they thought the Maravalians would have patronised more.

Denny's was badly run by the Franchisee.

Denny's in America is successful. And portions are huge.

The owner is the son of the Cico " big wig " - Forex is not an issue .

Maybe if he lose the Rolex and gold earrings and listen - Denny's in TT would be like in America.

The other place they should close down is Wendy's.

It is NOT the same Wendy's as in America.

The beef like rubber and OJTs runs the outlets - in TT.

The beef comes from discarded Audi tires

I agree with you, it was like a watered down version, the very few times I went to Denny's or Ihop in the US, I could never finish my portions.

Wendy's I actually frequent, I rather have their chicken sandwiches than the burgers (not a fan of any local burger fast food outlets BK etc) but I love Wendy's fries and never really had a problem service wise (although for the last couple of months Chaguanas never has biscuits for breakfast).

[Dizzy28]

Wendys has changed the chicken in their sandwiches from real chicken to processed patties like what BK has in theirs. I don't go much but since that switch I don't go at all.

Denny's was epic failure the two times I went (service or lack thereoff, lack of menu items - how could a breakfast joint not have coffee?) and that was when they were recently opened.

Forex aside there is something wrong with local restaurants.

[matr1x]

Lol, they were still open?

[gundeleroy2k]

Most likely Denny's pull the franchise from them. The level of service there was horrible, they need to let go some of that staff and give it to hungry and sexy Venezuelans.

Lol

[urbandilema]

I find Wendy's too lost their standards the one at library corner real drop the standards..

[pugboy]

they really need to allow proper work permits for the foreign nationals in the food industry

the large majority of our workforce available for the food service industry aren't really capable of much
more without substantial training and culling of the undesirables, far less the punctuality work ethic

for business like kfc where the number of items are very limited (thigh, bw, fries, cole slaw)
they can work but anything above that plus customer service is a no-no

Most likely Denny's pull the franchise from them. The level of service there was horrible, they need to let go some of that staff and give it to hungry and sexy Venezuelans.

Lol

Denny's, Cold Stone, Flavourite, Pollo Tropical, Shrunken McDonalds.

Seems as if the recession is starting to bite.

But Starbucks coffee still selling well.

What recession ? A make believe PNM recession?

Quoted for emphasis... just yesterday i hear they talking about recession again... guess they didn't see the 2 Trillion cuft of natural gas and condensate bp find

[RedVEVO]

Without going into technical details.

"Recession" or " Boom Time " is defined as an decrease or increase in a country's GDP.

Although BP find gas and oil etc. - it has to translate into revenue - meanwhile we still in a recession .

Because the GDP size has decreased - gone limp. Rowley Administration need Viagra.

Oh well back to Mc Doubles and Roti hut

Just to correct you the branch at Library corner NEVER had any standards to begin with, worst bunch of wajangs in one place. But that branch closed down a while now didn't last long, everybody complain about staff there.

[TurboSingh12]

NOOOOO was planning on carrying monky woman there for we anniversary

You can always take her to the zoo for some family time to see her family.

[matr1x]

Lol, you could swing on her

[Monkey Man]

awww yeh. beat up that furry monky nookie

[Slartibartfast]

Etc.

Denny's had the WORST- EST service !

Where in trini have good service bro

Denny's had the worst service and menu choices and long wait time

- and then they want to charge 10% service charge - gangsters eating place.

Plenty Business places in Trini give good- to very good-to excellent service

Examples:

1. Caroni Licensing Office (Heavy T)

2. Texas de Brazil (Food Buffet)

3. Adam's Bakery, Maraval (Food Bakery)

3. RHD Technologies, Maraval (Computer & Accessories )

Kool.

Wish you could have listed more since we have thousands of other services.
Seem this is just a handful and s shame

U want the man to write every single business with good service?

Lol. Maybe zoom could start an official "Good Service" thread.

I nominate Giro Pizza in Chaguanas.

[Cooloh]

Went by a place in Couva recently- local food, was real good. Good service too Fruit loops restaurant or cafe or something so

[S_2NR]

im surprised they lasted so long. good riddance.
piss poor service even by trini standards

That gas iz in the ground and will take years to get it to market.

In the meantime...

[pugboy]

99% of places with good service tend to have the owners or family present ALL the time
which is a requirement in general

Dennys and other such "investments" by big money folks are doomed from the start because
the owners never there

Unless you have been in the food or alcohol business long time the odds are very highly against you if you not there and present.

I knew one of the owners of Hooters when they were here, he said after they got their bar license was when money really starting lorsing, bar staff will tief you left right and centre

Oh well back to Mc Doubles and Roti hut

Not really. Many foreign franchises like KFC, Pizza Hut and Subway continue to do well in Trinidad.
Starbucks is always busy.

Starbucks is an American success Worldwide.

They draw a "yuppy" crowd backed with excellent service. Product mix and image is a 10.

They are also in the Tea business . They purchased a Tea company for $620 Million US dollars .

[desifemlove]

eh...not bothered. just odd food. i bet that triad fellow will cuss me for airing an opinion. perhaps he needs to be a secure adult, not demand respect from strangers.

[pugboy]

only time will tell if starbucks makes money in the long haul

everybody saying starbucks doing well here but
the majority of customers go there buy one coffee and spend over an hour there lounging off so others can see them there.............

If you like Hong Wing - that is your choice.

If you prefer Rituals - again your choice.

If your prefer Starbucks - and want to buy one coffee and " lounge off " - again your choice.

Choice is good - I like Tea - Green Tea - and Gov't Juice - It's my healthy choice.
