In this month of Ramadan, some hotels adopt some strange practices. This is the case, for example, of the Le Casablanca hotel which displays, like 5-star establishments, a ftour menu at the very hot price of around 1000 DH per person! That is much more than an excellent meal in a chic restaurant in normal times. Have intermediaries, the most hated race in Morocco in these times of high cost of living, also invited themselves into the aisles of the hotel industry? But Le Casablanca frankly has a taste for innovation since its bosses require the customer at the time of making their reservation to pay an advance, either by card or in cash at the reception, of around 50% on their ftour menu at 950 DH! This practice of prepayment of meals, which does not exist anywhere else in the world, is the kind that sticks in your throat.
Abroad, some prestigious restaurants require for booking on certain highly demanded slots a deposit of a bank imprint, essential to be able to validate the reservation, but which is only debited in case of no-show or late cancellation. In other words, the customer who does not cancel in time or does not show up pays booking fees. In Morocco, Le Casablanca has struck hard by inventing a delicious specialty. Go to the checkout before going to the table. Taste before savoring…
