Jon & Vinny’s, a popular Los Angeles Italian restaurant known for star customers like Kim Kardashian, has changed the language on its receipts, after it was sued by a group of former servers claiming their tips were being stolen.
On 21 June former servers filed a class action lawsuit against the Joint Venture Restaurant Group Inc, which owns the wildly successful Italian-American restaurant, claiming an 18 per cent “service fee” on receipts was being misinterpreted by customers as a tip and denying waiters their full compensation under state law.
