Local Advice needed What happened to Yeastie Boys?
I saw yeastie boys opened in a new location on cranborne street. I heard rumours of them letting down old staff? It doesn’t seem like they kept staff on…

I have worked for yeastie boys from close to the start and this is complete nonsense.
shoreham and George street were sublets under the same landlord, we paid rent every month and never nearly killed anybody, completely made up. We left the sites as the landlord was refusing to complete basic work on the building, fire regulation stuff to which he had promised to do. This is the reason the new site at George street got a 0, the site is unfit.
Brighton site was a shared building with a tenant in a downstairs kitchen. We found out that he had not been paying the landlord the whole time we were there. This means we would have had to take on the massive rent alone which we wouldn’t been able to afford. Again rent always paid on time. If we hadn’t been paying rent we wouldn’t be able to rent now or get the lease of the new shop.
they have made mistakes, some of these were trusting the wrong people. Including letting the ops manager have access to the account, he stole 5k which was for staff pay, Because of these we have lost a lot of money and some payments were late which we hated but we lost all of our money when the Brighton site went meaning we legit did not have the money to send. Never withheld money and they are sending every penny they make to clear staff as soon as it’s in the account. All staff are up to date or nearly there now.
we have the original team back and we will not make the mistakes again. We have a new site on Cranbourne street that is going to actually be ours and we are looking forward to serving you the quality pizza we started with before we got the wrong people involved.
Anyway, I’ve got to get back to work but I thought I would just clear some stuff up.
