HST 如何影響餐飲業? 生意, 如何

閒人一個

在hst投票前, 有沒有餐飲業人士, 可以清楚提供例子, 在業內hst是如何影響生意呢?

I think some restaurants just earned 7% more. because they always reported less income than the actual receipts.

唔知上面個位廚師先生以前做餐廳時收到小費後﹐有無報足稅呢?

The provincial government should give us more  incentive,
since they save a bundle administrating the PST, on top of
the tax portion which was not there before

CTV interviewed the owner of DeDutch and he said, he'd rather keep the HST 'cause it is too costly to change back to PST/GST once again.

最不滿一些食店, 又加價, 又減份量, 口口聲聲用hst為藉口 ! 收了現金, 又不報稅.閒人一個 發表於 2011-7-1 19:16

我以前常光顧的某家 bubble tea 店, 在 hst 生效前顯示的價錢是含稅的. 但 hst 生效之後, 再加上原材料成本增加, 它加價之餘還要改為不含稅, 變成幾乎貴了 1 元! 而且因為它是 cash only, 所以總是覺得它會報少營業額從而可以交少些稅的感覺(雖然我知道使用 debit/credit card machine的話店家也要付手續費之類給銀行) 自此以後我也不再光顧了.

HST got more to do on the revenue (customer) side because general public don't dine ...

If you need to eat out, then you have to eat out. For me, there is really no difference in my frequency of eating out, before or after the HST. Compared to HK or other places, I think Canada has been shielded from a lot of raises in raw material like flour, sugar, rice, etc. from our high exchange rate already.

0甘睇0黎, 基本上hst對飲食業上的沖擊只是小小火上加油. 單單材料成本, 人工都使飲食業十分難做 (我知部份原材料加了20-30%價), 非加價不可.  相比之下hst只是一個細因素.

不過, 今晚出街, 去一間約十二張大大細細枱的中餐, 六時到, 己全場滿, 大部份已食了一半, 我有定枱, 有位. 除後, 六時半, 大部份枱已可番一次, 店門還有等位, 部長亦不接定枱了. 想, 他們都應用三輪. 未加大量外賣. 生意十分不錯. (酒水真的少了).

我信那些好的餐館, 應沒有大問題, 他們加價亦不見得少了客, 反觀一些品質差的, 真係無客. 這正好表明, 好口碑, 應沒有問題. 一年了, 早已習慣了hst, 對我影響不多, 沒有減少出外食飯次數, 買車已為我省回很多.

for case 2, some customers will choose to pay: $100 + $12 (12% HST) + $3.50 (Tips - only 3.5% tips before tax!!) = $115.50... which is retarded...

很多做餐廳的人士收到現金小費卻不納稅﹐在餐飲業界未正視並解決這問題前﹐我很認同這行為~

The HST is just one of the factors that hit the restaurant industry. To me at least, the sum of the multiple hits (higher prices of raw materials, min wage increase, recession, increased enforcement against drunk driving, HST, etc.) were greater than each of the individual factors themselves on the industry.
