Michael Samsir (PBK Noodles) - having the hard conversations.

Published: Feb. 14, 2023, 5 p.m.

Michael Samsir lovingly handcrafts noodles at his small restaurant in Melbourne's multicultural Clayton but why can't he price them high enough to make PBK Noodles a truly viable business? We talk perception, value and the puzzling price of pasta.\xa0\nIt's Costs and Pricing week on Dirty Linen. What factors impact ideas of value in restaurants? Why is it so hard to raise prices? Is there anything businesses can do to insulate themselves from rising costs? We have the hard conversations.\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/pbknoodles/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D\n\nFollow Dirty Linen on Instagram\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast\n\nFollow Dani Valent\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/danivalent\n\nFollow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/\n\nFollow Huck (Executive Producer)\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/\n\nLISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork\n\nDirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
