hm..
are you sure the cooks are paid salaries?

I know my brother used to work @ a japanese restaurant as a cook and he was paid hrly + tips.

I dont see how taking the 50% would be legal.. seriously check up on that near your local labor department or something.. thats seriously fucked up if your BOSS is eating the 50%.

Which Kani house??
you know a girl name Jiyoung working there? haha
