|others say they’re struggling after Covid gave way to a recession|.
Hamilton’s Jam Cafe has been pursued by IRD for unpaid taxes, which the owner has said he’ll pay before a scheduled hearing in order to avoid liquidation. Jeff Dunstan cited cost pressures including minimum wage rises and inflation.
Times are also tough for others in the sector too, with evening offerings being cut and owners working overtime.
