💨 Abstract

A San Francisco chef and co-founder, Luke Sung, stepped down from his restaurant Kis Cafe after a micro-influencer accused him of disrespect. Sung claims the issue went public because his business partner didn't inform him of the influencer's visit, leading him to question her knowledge of the restaurant. The incident led to Sung’s termination. Industry experts debate the blame, noting miscommunication and potential overreactions from both parties. Ultimately, Kis Cafe closed, impacting the entire staff.
