One of Dubai’s most popular power lunch spots is moving permanently to a four-day workweek.
LPM Restaurant & Bar, formerly known as La Petite Maison, says servers, cooks and other staff members will take on longer shifts on two days and have three days off per week at both of its branches in the United Arab Emirates. Overall, staff members will work slightly fewer hours per week and keep the same salary.
In the ideal setup—the one championed by New Zealand-based 4 Day Week Global—employees would reduce their hours per week by a full workday but retain the same pay. At LPM, staff will work three fewer hours than before. “It probably requires a somewhat more innovative approach,” O’Connor says. Still, he has seen it succeed. Some restaurants have automated certain processes such as reservations or payments, while others have gone so far as change the layout of floor plans to give servers shorter routes between two points, he says.
