Restaurant chain Tomahawk Steakhouse has paid back controversial loans it received from furloughed workers – adding an extra 20% as a ‘thank you’ to staff.
A spokeswoman for Tomahawk Steakhouse said: “As part of the voluntary agreement signed by all of our staff, we promised that any monies loaned would be returned as soon as we were financially able.
“Following the Budget announcement last week, we are delighted to have been able to swiftly honour that promise this week. All staff have now received the loaned amount, along with an additional 20%, as a thank you for supporting the business at this critical time.”
In the original request letter to staff, who work across 12 restaurants, Tomahawk Steakhouse said it had a “short-term cash flow issue and it requires your help and support”. The company later said that all 500 had agreed to the loans.
