Shocking news! L'Atelier 18, a high-end restaurant located in the bustling Bund 18, where the average per capita consumption is as high as 1,580 yuan, suddenly closed without any warning. This shocking news instantly exploded in the food circle, leaving those diners who were still holding their meal coupons and looking forward to a luxurious food journey suddenly caught off guard.

You know, this is by no means an isolated case. This year, in the fashion capital of Shanghai, many high-end restaurants that once attracted much attention have fallen into difficult operating difficulties like dominoes. What happened? The reasons behind this are thought-provoking.

Take L'Atelier 18 for example. The reason for its closure is still unclear. However, internal sources revealed that the restaurant had not paid employees their wages and social security for several months, which caused the employees' lives to fall into difficulties and greatly affected their work enthusiasm. Not only that, it also owed money to many suppliers, causing serious problems in the supply chain. What's even more shocking is that its predecessor also had complicated brand licensing disputes and its management was in chaos.
