Julian Hills (Restaurant Navi) - the impact of cancellations

Another week, another restaurant-bashing story that goes viral. This time it's Navi, a small restaurant in Melbourne's inner-west, which lost a table of six, charged the menu price according to their cancellation policy, and was subsequently trolled from as far away as New York. We speak to owner Julian Hills about the devastating impact cancellations have on his small fine diner, and the baffling puzzle of why some consumers don't consider restaurants real businesses. https://www.restaurantnavi.com.au Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
