2017 was not a good year for Cypress, with the number of U.S. stores plummeting by 909 and the number of overseas stores falling sharply, according to the latest figures. In addition, Caibaiwei Australian stores had earlier been exposed to the exploitation of Chinese workers, an hourly salary below the statutory salary of A $16.
According to Australian News Corp, data from Sabre to Business Insider (Business Insider) showed that the number of its global stores fell from 44485 last year to 44014 this year, closing a total of 419. Subway`s customer traffic has fallen 25 percent over the past five years, the biggest reason being that Subway is no longer what consumers see as "affordable food."
In a bid to compete with McDonald`s, Sabre (Australia) decided to sell six-inch sandwiches at a price of $4.5, a move that was resisted by franchisees because of "no profit at all." "there is no money or even debt," complains one owner, who has signed petition books.
In addition, Saibaiwei is also deeply involved in the "deduct foreign staff salary" scandal, in July this year, a Sydney Caibaiwei Chinese staff said that their hourly salary is 4 yuan lower than the statutory salary, the owner is Chinese Zhang Danmin (Danmin Zhang, transliteration, the English name Irene), She opened two Synergy franchises in Sydney, Artarmon and Stanmore. The woman, who came to Australia on a technical visa, complained to the fair work commissioner. Zhang Danmin and her company face nearly A $65,000 in fines and Chinese workers receive full pay compensation.
