Real Housewives star Lystra Adams announces she's 'stepping away' from Boujee restaurant business
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lystra Adams has announced that she's 'walked away' from the Boujee restaurant chain. The reality star was one of the directors and 'the face' of the all-pink restaurants and bar based on Manchester's Bridge Street, as well as Carnival, its Caribbean and Latino-inspired pop-up on the restaurant terrace.
"Over the past eight months things had taken a bumpy turn. I had confidence in that the board of directors would turn it around. Unfortunately mistakes were made along the way [...] and it made the comeback near impossible." Previously, issues have been reported at Liverpool's Boujee, and in Manchester. Boujee said it was 'confident' that it could resume business, but Boujee's Instagram page no longer lists Liverpool as one of its sites, with only Manchester and Chester remaining.
But some staff claim the problems with service charge date back as far as last summer, with one former employee claiming they only found out they were owed tips after reading an article in the M.E.N. Although the restaurant had seen its hygiene rating increase to five stars, the chain admitted that staff were continuing to 'walk out' - creating rota issues and long hours for remaining employees.
Instagram Responding to the claims, a spokesperson for Boujee said all staff members go through online training via the 'Flow Hospitality' portal and are given training modules to complete relating to their job specification. "I was working seven days a week and had to argue to get a day off. Once I requested one or two days off because I wasn't feeling great and the manager just threatened to sack me. The final straw for me was when I was rota'd down to work 11am to 6pm but by the time I got into work someone had changed me to a night shift which meant I was down to work a double shift. That's when I quit.
