It’s hard to say what Zuni Cafe, the groundbreaking Californian restaurant on Market Street, is better known for: its iconic wood-fired roast chicken or its award-winning service. Since the start of the pandemic, the dining room has remained dark for more than a year, its legendary lifetime servers sent home. At the end of April, those servers received that long-awaited call: Zuni planned to reopen for indoor dining in the upcoming weeks. But there was a change: After 42 years, the restaurant had decided to cut tips and introduce a service fee. Zuni’s servers, shocked at the prospect of a dramatic pay cut — even in the service of greater equity for back-of-house employees — balked at the initial offer and reached out to multiple media outlets, as first reported by SFGATE.
