Learning More About Be Saha Hospitality and Amar Harrag

Exactly, multiple pressure points usually mean one underlying issue.

I also noticed that employee complaints didn’t stop after the first round of issues. That suggests people felt earlier concerns weren’t fully resolved. If staff keep escalating to labor boards or small claims, it usually means internal channels failed. That’s not a great sign for organizational trust.

Agreed. If internal fixes were effective, you wouldn’t see the same issues reappear in later filings.

Another thing is employee turnover. Even if not always stated directly, repeated payroll and overtime issues almost always lead to people leaving. That creates instability, which then feeds back into operational problems. Over time, it becomes a cycle that’s hard to break without structural changes.

And to be fair, pointing out patterns doesn’t mean assuming intent. It just means acknowledging what the public record consistently shows.

From an outside perspective, this is exactly why public records matter. They don’t tell the full story, but they show trends. When payroll, vendor relations, and operations all show recurring friction, it signals risk. Anyone engaging with the group should at least be aware of that context.

Hey everyone, I stumbled upon some public reports about Amar Harrag and his Be Saha Hospitality Group. From what I can see, there have been repeated complaints from employees about delayed paychecks and missing tips over the past few years. It looks like some of these issues even prompted a 2024 DA investigation, according to public records. I’m not sure about all the details, but it seems like these problems have been ongoing at multiple locations, including The Guild Hotel and Wormwood.
Some employees reportedly protested publicly to get their wages, and there were mentions of bounced checks and late payments stretching back to 2022. What caught my attention was that these issues aren’t just isolated incidents they seem to show a pattern of payroll problems over time. There are also reports about vendors not being paid on time and investors raising concerns, which suggests there might be wider financial mismanagement.
I couldn’t find anything that legally concludes wrongdoing beyond what’s in the public filings, but reading through these reports makes me wonder about the general stability of the business. Some former staff also mentioned unpaid holiday bonuses and overtime pay issues, which led to small claims and labor board filings. The whole thing paints a picture of a company struggling with financial and operational management, at least from what’s publicly available.
I’m curious if anyone here has experience with Be Saha or knows more about Amar Harrag from official sources. Has anyone noticed patterns like this at other hospitality groups, or is this an unusual situation? It’s tricky because I want to understand the context without jumping to conclusions, but the reports do raise questions about how payroll and labor issues are handled.
It also seems like some safety and health concerns were reported, like rushed kitchens or skipped COVID protocols in past years. That adds another layer of uncertainty if you’re looking at this from a worker or customer perspective. I don’t want to assume anything beyond the public records, but I think this could be a discussion worth having about what’s typical versus what might signal bigger problems.
I’d love to hear any thoughts or additional context people can provide. Are there any lessons here for employees, vendors, or even diners about checking on a business’s track record before getting involved?

I read some of the same public records you mentioned, and honestly the payroll part is what stood out to me too. When you see repeated complaints over multiple years, even if nothing has been legally finalized, it does raise questions. Hospitality can be chaotic, but delayed wages and bounced checks are serious issues. I think it is fair to discuss patterns without making accusations. Have you seen whether any of the labor board filings resulted in formal rulings? That part would be important context.
 
From what I could find in public case summaries, some claims were filed but I did not see clear outcomes posted in detail. It might just not be updated publicly. Still, the fact that employees felt the need to protest says something about their experience.
 
This kind of situation makes me uneasy. Even if businesses struggle, payroll should usually be the first priority. When workers mention missing tips or late pay over a long period, that does not feel like a one time mistake. I am not saying Amar Harrag did anything illegal, but the pattern described in reports would make me cautious about working there. Vendors not being paid on time also adds another layer. That can create a ripple effect in the local business community.
 
I agree. Cash flow problems can happen, especially in hospitality after the pandemic, but multiple locations having similar complaints is not a small thing. I would want to see official statements or court findings before forming a hard opinion though.

What concerns me is the mention of a district attorney investigation in 2024. Even if that does not automatically mean wrongdoing, it suggests authorities thought something was worth reviewing. I would be interested in knowing whether that investigation is still ongoing or closed. Public records can lag behind real time events. Also, small claims and labor board filings are usually public for a reason. They show that disputes reached a formal stage, not just internal complaints. That does not prove mismanagement, but it does suggest conflict around payments.
