Trendy cafe hits back at entitled food critic who erupted into foul-mouthed whinge after he missed out on trying their sold-out sandwiches a second time

A popular cafe has hit back after a TikTok food critic complained he was unable to review its sandwiches because they had run out of stock in an expletive-laden rant.
John-Ray Boukarim faced backlash after he visited the newly-opened cafe located at Marrickville, in Sydney 's Inner West, earlier this week.
It was the second time Mr Boukarim went to the venue but he was unable to review the food as it had run out of bread for sandwiches
In a rant shared on TikTok with his 14,000 followers, Mr Boukarim accused the owners of not knowing how to run a business.
'You think you would have your operation under control knowing what stock levels you would need in order to keep up with the demand, yet you still finish and run out of food an hour or two before you shut,' he said.
'F*** off, and stop wasting my time. Don't open up a business unless you know how to run it. Like seriously.'
Mr Boukarim said he had no intention of tarnishing the cafe and deliberately left out the name in his video.
Its owners have since spoken out, revealing the cafe was Bertas.
'We work out of a compact 36sqm space with a small tight-knit team and have up to eight people on deck during busy times,' they told news.com.au on Thursday.
'Every sandwich we serve is made fresh to order, and we make as much in-house as possible - often starting in the early hours and finishing late at night.
'We hate having to turn people away, especially as we started this place to offer a high-quality product at an accessible price.
'This is what starting something from scratch looks like, and we're all in.'
In his explosive video on Monday, Mr Boukarim claimed he and ten other customers in the cafe missed out on sandwiches.
'These idiots, "Oh we sold out". How do you sell out bro!' he said.
He suggested the owners 'up' their bread quantities and donate any excess to charity.
'I guarantee you selling an extra 15 sandwiches vs giving away 15 to 25 pieces of bread completely outweighs the stand alone bread cost,' Mr Boukarim wrote.
Social media users largely disagreed with Mr Boukarim's rant, with many scolding him for not visiting the cafe earlier on his second trip.
'That's just not how it works. If they sold out that means they're doing something right,' one wrote.
'You'd think you'd learn your lesson and go earlier the second time,' another said.
Others slammed the food reviewer for claiming the owner did not know how to run a business, claiming he was the one who lacked understanding of a cafe's logistics.
'I understand that frustration however, sometimes they can physically order as much as their establishments can store/make in their kitchen,' one commented.
'They have only been open for four weeks and you think they should have it down pact exactly how much stock they need?' another said.
Mr Boukarim replied to some of the comments claiming the video was a way for him to express himself and that 'for the most part' he was 'just taking the p***'.
Mr Boukarim told Daily Mail Australia he was hesitant to visit the cafe a third time due to his past experiences.
'My hope was to offer constructive criticism that could potentially benefit the business in the long run,' Mr Boukarim told Daily Mail Australia.
'I personally feel it's better for businesses to slightly over-prepare and then donate any surplus, or utilise it the next day if feasible.'
Mr Boukarim noted it was 'uncommon' for successful and established restaurants to frequently sell out of core items during their advertised hours.
'Imagine Maccas ran out of burger buns,' he said.
'While I get that unexpected things happen, it's those repeated issues - especially on a busy Saturday - that can really bother consumers.'

I'm a tax accountant and these are the four biggest mistakes you're making on your returns - and it's costing you money

Australians are forgetting to claim work-related expenses and often select the wrong work from home deduction in their tax returns. That's according to a leading taxation accountant who has singled out the top five errors taxpayers make as tax time approaches on July 1. Belinda Raso from Tax Invest Accounting said taxpayers are missing out on hundreds of dollars by making little mistakes. 'They just rush in and lodge way too early and usually don't claim what they are entitled to,' Ms Raso said. WFH deductions One of the most common tax mistakes involves deductions made for working from home. Ms Raso said people who WFH do not always apply for the maximum deductions they can receive. Work from home expenses can be worked out via two different methods: the fixed rate 'shortcut' method of 70 per cents per hour, or the actual cost method, where they calculate their total expenses. 'It is very important that you work out both methods to ensure that you're getting the largest possible deduction,' she said. 'Another thing that people forget to do is, if they are going by that fixed rate method of 70 cents per hour... they're forgetting to claim everything else, and this includes computer equipment, it includes furniture, it includes software, the list is endless.' Medicare levy surcharge The next mistake Australians often make is incorrectly recording their liability for a Medicare levy surcharge - the additional charge on taxpayers who do not have private health insurance. Ms Raso said that the tax office will change the return if they have proof workers are liable for the levy. Australians forget to work out the most savings-efficient method for determining their claimable work-from-home expenses, Ms Raso warned 'It is up to you to understand when you are and when you're not liable for this,' Ms Raso said. Work related allowances The experienced accountant said some Australians make a huge mistake by failing to claim work-related expenses, such as claiming goods that they use for both personal and work use. 'As an example, one of the most common ones is a computer or laptop,' Ms Raso said. 'You sit there and think, "well, I use this for both personal reasons and for work, I can't claim it then". That's not true. 'Any expense that you're claiming, you can apportion a personal element to it and just claim whatever percentage is for work. It doesn't mean that you can't claim it.' Logbook Her final tip was for Australians who use a personal vehicle for work purposes. She said workers should ensure they are recording their usage accurately in a logbook. 'If you are travelling over 5,000 kilometres for work, for actual work-related travel, you should be keeping a logbook,' Ms Raso said. 'But this is more than just tracking your kilometres in a logbook.' Workers should also keep records of their fuel and oil costs, or odometer readings. They will also need evidence of other car expenses.

Cringeworthy moment Labor brags about building 17 new homes in seven months in a far cry from 1.2million goal

Labor has been slammed for bragging about building 17 new homes in Canberra in seven months - a far cry from its target of 1.2million homes in five years. 'We're here in Canberra visiting some brand spanking new homes, what do you reckon Chris?' Minister for Housing Clare O'Neil said in a TikTok on Friday. In an awkward game of catch, she tossed the phone to Chris Steel, ACT Minister for Planning and Sustainable Development, who then turned the camera on himself. 'Pretty good, 17 class C adaptable homes for new residents,' said a grinning Steel. He then threw the phone to Labor MP David Smith, who added: 'A great example of two Labor governments working together and taking pressure off housing right here in Bean'. 'And the good news is we're just getting started,' O'Neil said after Smith had tossed the phone back to her. 'This is 17 out of 55,000 social and affordable homes that our government is going to deliver to Australians over the coming few years.' The 55,000 social and affordable homes O'Neil mentioned fall under Labor's broader target of building 1.2million homes over five years from mid-2024. The policy known as the National Housing Accord includes $3.5billion in payments to state, territory and local governments to support the delivery of new homes towards the target, and a one-off $2billion payment to help states and territories to increase social housing stock. Aussies were quick to criticise the video, slamming the lacklustre seven-month timeframe for building just 17 houses. '17 homes in seven months... At that rate it will take you 1,886 years to complete the remaining 55,000 homes,' one said. 'You should reach your target by 2080 - what a joke,' said another. 'Do you realise another major building company has just declared bankruptcy?' a third asked. Critics have labelled Labor's housing target unrealistic, if not impossible, amid soaring construction costs and unfettered immigration. Australia had a record level of construction company insolvencies in 2025, a 24 per cent increase over last year's rate. Labor's policy requires 240,000 homes to be delivered every single year for five years - a significant improvement on Australia's record year of construction in 2017, when about 223,000 homes were built. Leith van Onselen, who formerly worked at the Australian Treasury and is the chief economist at MacroBusiness, said the construction sector was struggling. 'As a result, builders are caught between a rock and a hard place whereby they can't deliver stock at a profitable level, and that has created a major handbrake on housing construction,' Mr van Onselen said. 'We're still seeing lots of builders going under, and they're struggling to make a profit at the moment, which just means this housing construction target from the federal government is completely unrealistic. 'It's just too expensive to build housing in Australia at the moment, for a variety of reasons, and that just means that less housing is going to be built at the same time the government has the throttle on immigration.'

Australians can look forward to a bigger nest egg as super guarantee rises to 12%

Australian workers can look forward to a bigger nest egg, with an increase to the superannuation guarantee to add tens of thousands of dollars to the average super account. From 1 July, employers' minimum required contribution to employees' superannuation accounts will rise from 11.5% to 12%. It is the latest and last in a series of incremental increases from 9% over more than a decade since they were legislated by the Rudd-Gillard Labor government in 2012. With the latest bump, a 30-year-old earning $60,000 would have an extra $20,000 in super by retirement, according to the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia. It will add about $300 each year to the superannuation of a worker on a $60,000 salary, or $500 for someone on a $100,000 salary. 'The system foundations are cemented for young, working people to have a comfortable retirement,' the ASFA chief executive, Mary Delahunty, said. 'It's a moment all Australians should be proud of.' Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email The association said the cost of a comfortable retirement had increased 1.6% in the past year, while the cost of a modest retirement rose 1.7%. A 'comfortable' retirement includes top-level health insurance, a reasonable car and leisure activities. The cost of either outcome was increasing slower than Australia's current 2.4% headline inflation but retiree budgets remained under pressure from rising food, energy and health costs. Couples on average need $73,900 annually for a comfortable retirement, while most singles require $52,300 a year, ASFA says. For a modest retirement covering the basics, couples needed $48,200 each year, singles $33,400, or for renting couples, $64,250, and $46,660 each year for singles who rent. The figures underlined the importance of increasing Australia's housing stock, Delahunty said. 'They also illustrate how super can be the difference between hardship and stability later in life, especially for renters.' For some workers, the extra contribution would come from their existing pay package, according to CPA Australia's superannuation lead, Richard Webb. 'It's a good idea to check with your employer to see how they view the changes and what it means for you,' he said. Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion Workers on contracts with a total remuneration package could see a slight drop in their take-home pay, while those on award or enterprise agreements would likely receive the contribution on top of their current pay. When compulsory superannuation was introduced in 1992 – in part to reduce government spending on the age pension – only one in 10 Australian retirees listed super as a source of income. Nine in 10 people between 30 and 50 now have super. Government spending on the age pension was projected to fall from 2.3% of gross domestic product in 2020 to 2.0% by 2062-63, despite a doubling of the over-65 population and a trebling of over-85s over the same period. However, the super guarantee increase would not help those who missed out on paid work for extended periods, the Super Consumers Australia chief executive, Xavier O'Halloran, said. '(For) people who have caring responsibilities or who have been locked out of the unaffordable housing market … increasing SG further won't address those inequalities,' he said. O'Halloran said there was more that could be done to support people struggling in retirement, when a significant portion of their autumnal years' savings were made. 'Right now, there are no minimum standards for retirement products like there are for MySuper,' he said. 'There is also no performance testing of retirement products, so super funds can still sell poor products.'
