Jamie Oliver

[Anonymous No.10166960]

Is he going to be okay?

>Last week, court documents emerged showing Jamie’s Italian had debts of £71.5m

>The crisis at Jamie’s Italian has followed a series of business setbacks for Oliver, who by his own admission has “fucked up” 40% of his ventures and lost £90m of his wealth since 2014.

>In 2015, Oliver shut the last branch of Recipease, his chain of cookery shops. In 2017, he closed the last of his four British-themed Union Jacks restaurants. And in October his food magazine, Jamie, stopped publishing after almost 10 years.

[Anonymous No.10169304]

I feel bad for him. He had a simple message and an honorable passion early in his career. He blew up right at the nascence of social media marketing and I'm sure the shithole he's falling into now is the result of being pushed to do things he wasn't knowledgeable about or ready for.

In the end, while his finances are questionable and his business savvy is obviously not up to par, I think his message is a good one and he can recover from this. He's still young, entrepreneurial, and he has a fantastic reputation in the industry.

His YouTube channel sucks dick now, though. Shame. Genarro and Donal will have to pick up the pieces.

His restaurant chain are all franchises.
He has no personal financial exposure to them, he’s simply endorsing the franchises with his name/ brand.
If you wanted to start one you need a minimum of one million GBP in available funds so the 71.5 million is actually secure debt.
A bit of a non story really considering it’s a relatively young brand, all startups incurr debt early on.

That isn’t true. Cookbooks are generally collaborative efforts. He has dyslexia & ADHD, and so has and editorial team to help him condense his words properly and actually write out a recipe. He has a good testing team to make sure all the recipes are tested at least three times. He has a nutritional team to make sure everything is as balanced and nutritious as it can be. But at the end of the day, every single recipe is his call.
