Giuseppe Mascoli: Franco Manca owner and Market Row entrepreneur

[Lo Siento.]

You could not be more wrong. Any fool knows that there is NO limit on how good pizza (or other toast-based meal concepts) can be.
You'll be denying that heaven can be found in a good pie next ffs.

Well... I suppose. But for me IMO the base is either right or not right, and the topping is mainly determined by the quality of the ingredients - which I can buy anyway (without queueing)

 

[299 old timer]

Ah, the original Franco's now we are talking!
As for all the hipster types who queue at Franco Manca, well frankly, they wouldn't know a decent pizza if it fell out of the sky and slapped them in the face.

My son and I used to eat there regularly when it was Eco, and being local, we knew when to go to avoid the queues. When it became Franco Manca, we tried it out, loved the pizza, but were sooooo not impressed with the new owner. He was really snooty towards me when I asked for milk in my coffee, as well as being offensive to my son, who raised a small issue about his food, saying, "And I suppose your mother's paying for this" . Knobhead. Still love the pizzas tho', so we occasionally break our boycott and reminisce about the old times.

And totally wrong to say it was exclusively Afro-Caribbean - when he moved in, there were very few A/C shops at that end of MR.

 

[RaverDrew]

I know his missus quite well, she used to be one of the neighbours in my block.

 

[tbtommyb]

you Londoners and your queueing for restaurants is beyond me.

(and pizza, ffs! Surely there's a limit to how good crispy flat bread with stuff on it can be!)

it tastes just like the pizza from any other restaurant. (well, better than pizza hut).

He said Franco Manca had since apologised for the incident and offered him a voucher for a free meal in their restaurant.

Tight fisted cunts. A whole free meal for that humiliation?

Should have had a picture of the dog angrily pointing its paw at the restaurant.

Or the dog owner smearing shit all over the windows of their multi-million business while the dog sprays the owner with piss. Now, that would have impact.

Alls well that ends well.


A spokeswoman for Franco Manca said: "All service dogs are welcome in our pizzerias. This, unfortunately, is the result of an error from individual staff members in one restaurant. We are taking the relevant steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again and have spoken directly with the customer in question to apologise and ensure he knows he is welcome at any of our pizzerias."

Apart from the fact that it should never have happened in the first place and humiliating the guy by refusing him entrance was against the law.

Crikey.

That ‘manager’ is clearly a thicko

Someone's had the sack!

Looks like the fortunes of the parent company are wobbling too.

Franco Manca and The Real Greek owner Fulham Shore warned on profit on Thursday as fewer people ate at is restaurants, causing it to curtail expansion plans.

Jamie Oliver, Byron, Carluccio’s, Prezzo and other mid-market British chains have struggled to attract cash-strapped customers, while a weak pound has increased their costs.


Shares in Fulham Shore, which was founded in 2012, fell 20 percent after it said its restaurants were serving fewer customers than last year, with higher operating costs.

“We are operating in an uncertain economic outlook for both the UK and the restaurant sector in particular,” it said.

“We will bring forward our plans only to fund new restaurant openings from our internally generated free cash flow by reducing the number ... for the coming year,” it added.

In his spare time, David Page the multi-millionaire owner, "likes to grows grapes, figs and peaches in the South of France. " Which is nice.

What do you mean by this post? This should never have happened in the first place.

“When I saw the manager I produced my identification card which clearly states the law which says it is illegal to turn guide dogs away from establishments.”

And still not let in.

Thing is this can't be blamed on staff. Its top down management who want to cultivate the "right" clientele.

Turning away a blind person with a guide dog is the same as refusing to serve a customer because of there colour.

Its basic practice of a business that works in service industry to train staff in equality rights.

Unfortunately for Franco Manco they picked on wrong person.

But Mr Kent who is an engagement officer for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, said a voucher is not enough.

Clearly a manager fucked up.

I very much doubt this was a group policy of no blind people!

Clearly?

Have you read the article? The Blind person works for Guide Dogs association.

I'm not having this blame the junior staff stuff. Get this all the time. Typical senior management tactic.

Can you not see that this is inexcusable "fuck up" by the people at the top of Franco Mancos?

Its basic. Guide dogs are allowed in places pet dogs aren't.

I know this and I'm not a CEO.

The evidence in ES and comments by this blind person who works in this sector show that this is common.

So it's prejudice and its part of the business culture of Franco Manco. Institutional prejudice.

As the guy said a free meal is not enough.

No, the COMPANY fucked up. They hire their staff and it's their responsibility to train them and make them aware of how to treat people.

And you think a shitty voucher is enough for their fuck up?

Googling Franco Manco and his name comes up in relation to Franco Manco. Its still part of the brand image of company. That it's Italian genuine pizza.

What point are you making?
