12 Chairs Byn, LLC (which does business as 12 Chairs Café) and three individuals with control of the Brooklyn eatery are facing a former employee’s wage and hour lawsuit that claims they violated several provisions of state and federal labor laws. The plaintiff says he was employed as a tipped delivery worker – and then as food preparer and dishwasher – at the defendants’ restaurant but spent more than 20 percent of each day performing non-tipped duties. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the suit argues, the plaintiff should have been paid the full hourly minimum wage instead of at a tip-credited rate.

The complaint further alleges that the plaintiff is owed unpaid overtime and spread-of-hours wages and should have been provided with accurate wage notices and statements detailing his hours and rate of pay.
