Who would benefit from this?
- goobynight 8y agoOnly the restaurant owners that believe they have earned business by simply opening shop in the area. Hopefully companies find a workaround or people start packing though.
- draw_down 8y agoRestaurant owners, indeed! The funny thing is, the jobs in company kitchens are better for the workers. At my company, the kitchen staff is vocal about heavily preferring to work in our office versus in a restaurant: The pay is way better (like, double). They get good health insurance. They work in a nice place. They don't get their hours cut because the owner failed to attract clientele. Et cetera. I think this idea is fundamentally anti-labor, unless those pushing it are also demanding better pay and benefits for service industry workers.

- draw_down 8y agoYes, HN is not exactly subtle about it. But there's not much I can do
- moduspol 8y agoI've seen arguments that some believe techies are becoming the new societal "elites," and that on-site cafeterias reinforce the divide between elite techies and the rest of society. To me this seems like yet another poorly thought-out and aspirational gesture with minimal practical effect, but this is San Francisco.
