Goodbye
Dear Valued Customers and Supporters,
It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that we announce the closure of the ROZU restaurant. This decision has not been an easy one for us, as we have poured our hearts and souls into creating a vibrant dining experience for our community. Unfortunately, circumstances beyond our control have led us to this difficult outcome.
We opened our doors just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and like many others in the industry, we were not given a fair chance to establish ourselves. The ensuing months were challenging, with unpredictable ups and downs. We experienced the joy of welcoming back our cherished guests after the lockdown but struggled to find the consistency necessary for sustained success.
The rising costs and skyrocketing energy bills have pushed us to a point where it is no longer economically viable to continue operating. Merely relying on our busy Saturdays and occasional outside events proved insufficient to meet the mounting financial obligations. Moreover, we have witnessed a shift in the demographic and our customers, who face increasing living costs. The hospitality industry as a whole is grappling with these challenges, leaving us on the ropes.
Given this challenging decision, we express our deepest gratitude to our incredible staff. Their dedication, hard work, and unwavering loyalty have been the backbone of our restaurant from the very beginning. We are immensely grateful for their commitment and steadfast support.
