It would be interesting to see reports of long-term experiments of this sort, see how businesses run this way fare over time and whether this sort of model is unsustainable, or if these people are onto something effective that stands the test of time. Any other restaurants who have tried this sort of model in the past and stuck with it?
- kikokikokiko 3y agoThe simple fact that you never ever heard about something like that, tells you all you need to know aboit the long term prospect of business owned by "the collective". In my part of the world we have a saying " what fattens the cows is the owner's gaze". A company that belongs to everyone working there belongs to no one, and it will eventually become a freeloader's dream. I have heard of one or two examples of this things being tried, one even a restaurant close tomy home town. It never lasts.

I believe it was Ford and GM, no doubt others, were studying their model at some point. But convincing stakeholders - including lenders - to divest interest in a company after a set period is, from my understanding, why the model has such a hard time in the US.
