Karl Henning Svendsen in Noho Trøbbelskyter is preparing both to lay off employees and to close facilities after the new town hall adjustment. He believes that the measures are marked by populism.

– It was a little shock. We knew something would happen, but the restrictions they gave us surprise me if everyone in the industry makes it through until Christmas, given the support schemes we have now. I’m a bit upset right now.
Here’s what Karl Henning Svendsen, CEO of Noho Trøbbelskyter, says, which runs several of Oslo’s biggest nightclubs, including Kulturhuset, Prindsens Hage, and Oslo Camping.
The backlash comes after Raymond Johansen (Labor Party), leader of the Oslo city council, announced a further tightening to control the infection. Several of the measures are aimed at the nightlife industry:
- Stop admission to nightclubs after 22:00.
- Mandatory for bandages inside restaurants for employees and guests in all situations where you do not sit at a table.
The measures apply from Thursday, October 29 at 12:00.

Think that less will come out
Svendsen expects an immediate effect on its own operations.
– That the entrance stops at ten at night is one thing, but when the guests have to wear a bandage in addition, everything indicates that people will leave less and our turnover will plummet.
Karl Henning Svendsen, general manager of Noho Trøbbelskyter, which operates several large nightclubs in Oslo, says the situation came as a shock.

At the moment, Karl Henning Svendsen is preparing to lay off employees. Club opening hours will likely be adjusted, and moreover, there are enough places that have to close, he says.
– They may be necessary measures, but then compensation schemes must be fashionable, says Svendsen.
He is aware that support for the current crisis does not. The employer’s wage obligation in the event of dismissal is no longer two days, as in the spring, but has been increased to 10. And the compensation scheme that covered the drop in turnover has been abolished.

– It seems populist
Raymond Johansen emphasized the need for more crisis help in Monday’s press conference, when he called for more specific crisis help.
– What do you think of the city council passing the ball to the government?
– What should I say and do? He says he feels sorry for us and he feels sorry for us, but maybe someone should sit down and figure out what should be in his place. In any case, the support plans that have been applied so far have almost entirely gone to the owner of the holding.
– Will you consider closing instead of imposing restrictions?
– It will be a bit early to say that we basically want people to keep working. But I think it’s a bit strange that they run after nightlife again when there is so little infection that it can be directly traced there. It seems very populist.

In this city, Petter Stordalen has lost more than 400 million
Consider closing every day
Kristian Afzelius is an operations manager and co-owner of Rodeløkka Invest, which owns a total of 14 restaurants in the capital.
He says the muzzle requirement is in addition to more stringent rules that have emerged recently and means another cost, as well as something else employees have to think about in everyday life.
TERMINATIONS OF FEAR: Operations manager and co-owner Kristian Afzelius at Rodeløkka invest fears there may be layoffs, and not just layoffs, if a proper crisis package is not put in place for the restaurant industry.

He says they live from day to day, with great fluctuations in the number of diners in restaurants.
– It is an evaluation every day if it makes any sense to operate, says Afzelius.
– We hope that there will be a crisis package, because what we fear is that many young people will lose their jobs. It is not certain that this time there will be layoffs.
– It’s around the Christmas season. What does it look like compared to last year?
– As of now, we have between 15 and 20 percent of what we had last year, says Afzelius and admits that it is dramatic.
He now hopes that the state will come up with a salary scheme that ensures that employees can continue to work, instead of paying NAV salaries, while he hopes it will be possible to implement a cash benefit scheme based on last year’s billing.
Raymond believes he is involving the authorities
Raymond Johansen (Labor Party) announced on Monday that he will enter into dialogue with
the authorities to repair the damage caused by the corona measures
night life.
– Is it a bad consolation?
– No, I will be a strong advocate of guaranteeing a compensation plan, because the city of Oslo is completely dependent on having a functioning catering and catering industry.
– Do you think you have national authorities in the team?
– I’m pretty sure I have to convince them of that. The industry is now making a big splash, they have proven to be very good.
– Can you promise compensation like money?
– I promise to take it to the authorities and I am absolutely sure that I will be so clear that we will succeed in part, says Raymond.
