After bankruptcy, Dallas Tex-Mex company bought Razzoo’s restaurants

What this article isn’t telling you is that M Crowd decided to close 11 of the 22 restaurants, and called all the GMs on Christmas Eve to tell them they’re fired come Monday. If they told a soul, they’d lose their job immediately. One GM was even threatened to lose accrued PTO payout if they warned staff. Razzoo’s is a shit company. They went bankrupt because the C-suite overpaid themselves, bloated the corporate offices with redundancy positions (for instance, they had more marketing personnel than Chili’s), overpaid for point-of-sale (Oracle, for Christ’s sake), and showed a general detachment from the reality of running a restaurant. Frankly, I’m surprised they made it this long, but their sales kept up until COVID. They just didn’t know how to adjust to life after the pandemic, which reshaped the restaurant industry as a whole. The M Crowd is a special kind of evil. These people couldn’t be bothered to wait until after the holiday to lay people off, and instead thought they’d torture management through threats over Christmas so that they could milk revenue from those 11 stores over the last few days they operated. There’s “business is business” and then there’s this kind of putrid behavior. M Crowd can get fucked.
