I think they should make all restaurants "child free"...that's exactly where we are headed...once the doors opens for one, the rest will follow~! |
Yeah, right. Restaurants are going to turn down all that money. That mac and cheese we pay $6 for probably costs them a nickel to make. |
Good point! Families bring in alot of business. Paying double or triple or quadriple brings in more $$ then paying for one. |
That $6 will probably be made up *easily* with people staying to actually enjoy their dinner, instead of rushing out because of fussy kids. Staying and ordering a bit more for the table - more appetizers, more wine and drinks, more coffee, more dessert. It's not even a match for that $6 kiddy meal. |
I'm going to start a petition for Rogue 24 to add a ball pit. |
Not to mention the extra staff expenses spent on cleaning up after kids. The turnover on tables will be much quicker without kids, which will be a cost pro for the restaurant. Not to mention, I'm sure they'll save a shit ton on napkins alone. |
You are kind of being irrational |
But a 5,000 petition about opening ONE childless restaurant? No no, that's not irrational at all! ![]() |
There's a place in the market for us all. |
This. This is probably one of the worst neighborhoods in the area for him to have picked for a child-free restaurant. There are a lot of families with small kids in the area who won't be bringing in their business. I doubt there are that many people bothered by small kids in restaurants at 7:30 pm on a Friday night to schlep over to Del Ray to a restaurant just because it's child-free.

^^Wheres waldo, lol |
There is no petition. Everyone I have spoken to in Del Ray is thrilled. Because it is such a family friendly area, many of us are happy to have a date spot that doesn't involve leaving the hood. I think someone is just trolling for controversy. |
There is definately a petition. I signed my name to it! |
OMG. Talk about first world problems. You actually spent the effort to get a petition with signatures over one restaurant that wants to be child free? You do realize there are kids dying of cancer or starvation, right? You know - issues worth getting upset over... |
