Restaurant meals are underpriced - restaurant owner
A Wellington restaurant owner believes meals out are way underpriced and people don't understand the true cost of putting the food on the table, including wages for kitchen and wait staff. Asher Boote closed his restaurant Daisy's at the weekend, a lot of factors contributed to the decision including tough economic times and tight margins. It's one of a number of venues that have shut up shop in the capital recently. Boote spoke to Lisa Owen.
