Restaurants allege Victoria food delivery service owes thousands in unpaid bills

Clif Leir, owner of Agrius Restaurant and Fol Epi Bakery, alleges his businesses are owed around $4,000 from Tutti.

“Through grassroots marketing and genuine support from all of our stakeholders, we successfully created a model that provides Tutti users with an unparalleled service while charging our business partners the lowest rates in the industry,”But what started out as local businesses hoping to support a small local company has turned into a nightmare, restaurant owners say.

“I noticed something was off about a month-and-a-half ago, when I received a cheque in the mail from Tutti, they normally would just do direct deposit for payments,” Maxwell said. “I asked them what was the cheque for and they said ‘don’t worry about it. We’re just switching over to a different bank and we’re in transition, so we haven’t set up the direct deposit stuff yet.'”“So I asked them what happened there and where’s the money and they didn’t reply and didn’t reply,” Maxwell said.

Court documents obtained by CHEK News allege the restaurant is owed $220,775.81 from missed payments starting April 2021. “Anytime a small business is owed six figures or more, it’s gonna put them at risk of insolvency,” Burgess said in an interview with CHEK. “This isn’t just the debt itself, as the damages that are being suffered by J&J, this is the labour that’s represented by all those food delivery services that gave rise to the debt, it’s the wastage and spoilage, it’s the food costs.”, where the courts determined the restaurant is owed $197,120.
