A co-owner of Haus Coffee has publicly acknowledged a mistake following the outlet's temporary closure and a claim from a former employee about being paid less than what had been agreed, according to Stomp.
In its report, Stomp said the owner's response included the admission that the business had erred. The report was published on Sunday, 27 September 2026.
The former employee's allegation concerns pay that fell short of an agreed amount, Stomp reported. The coffee outlet had also shut temporarily, the outlet said.
Stomp's headline quoted the owner's response as an admission of fault, while also linking that response to both the temporary closure and the ex-employee's pay claim. The report did not provide further detail beyond those points.
The episode places two issues side by side for the business: an interruption to operations and a dispute over staff compensation. Stomp attributed both the closure and the pay allegation to its reporting, and the owner's acknowledgment of fault was made in response to the allegations.
What to watch next: whether Haus Coffee confirms when it will reopen and whether the former employee's pay claim is resolved.
