    Dubai’s LPM Restaurant & Bar becomes the first to introduce a four-day workweek

    Lifestyle

    With the restaurant business known for its tedious long hours, LPM Restaurant & Bar has taken the first step to bring about changes in the industry.
    As a means to improve world culture, this fine-dining haven has introduced a permanent four-day working week for staff without salaries being lowered, making this a revolutionary shift in the hospitality sector.

    The official shift was confirmed by Bloomberg with LPM’s regional chief who emphasised on the importance of making the hospitality sector a more inviting place to work.
    Per the latest schedule, the three-day weekend will be given to front-and back-of-house staff and operational staff will continue to remain on a five-day working week for now at the same salary in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
    After opening in 2010, this restaurant has established itself with immaculate attention to detail from its interiors to each and every dish. Inspired by the French Riveria, the restaurant uses the finest ingredients and had recently undergone refurbishment to open just in time for the 2022 festive season with its classic selection of sought-after dishes.

    By taking a bold new step, LPM plans to introduce this new working hours system to other locations in the region.
    This must-visit haven is located at Gate Village 8, DIFC and is open from Monday to Friday 12pm to 3:30pm, Saturday to Sunday 12:30pm to 4pm and daily from 6pm to 11:30pm.
